Time is running out to sign up for flag football.
Workers at Centre install one of 12 -58,000# roof sections on the new safe rooms. The addition will include Pre-K and Kindergarten rooms that will double as a FEMA-approved storm shelter and two daycare rooms. In the foreground are the new concession stand and restrooms that are also part of the project. Completion of the project is slated for late December.
Tomorrow is the first day of school for Centre USD #397. I want to take a moment to thank our amazing faculty and staff for the work they do. As I continue to see districts throughout the state still trying to find faculty and staff to fill open positions, it reminds me how blessed we are to have this group of dedicated educators working for our students. I am blessed to be starting year 43 in education and working with such a great group of people in a great school district. As always, Cougar Proud! Let's have a great year!
Dr. Larry Geist, Superintendent
