YEARBOOKS
Centre Yearbooks are for sale. The cost is $45.00 per book. Order forms are located in the school office and are due back before spring break (March 11th). This year the yearbooks were not included in the school fee sheet when you enrolled, as we did not know the cost yet. If you are wanting a yearbook for your child, please have your child stop in the office to pick up a form.
DRIVER'S ED
It is that time of year when we start looking ahead to the summer driver's ed course that will be offered here at Centre. The cost for driver's ed is $102.00. The fee must be paid for in cash. We will not accept checks or money orders. There are a limited amount of spots in the class, so it is first come/first serve. Payments can be made to Mrs. Bina in the office.

Good afternoon. This is Larry Geist, Superintendent of Centre Schools with an important announcement. Due to an increase in positive COVID tests impacting our faculty and staff, the board of education approved the dismissal of school for the remainder of this week during a special meeting this afternoon. Students and staff will not be attending school until Monday, January 24th. Because of the number of students impacted by COVID we have also canceled the Cougar Classic scheduled to begin tonight. All Centre High School Games have been canceled but other schools may decide to still play their games. We will not be playing the Junior High basketball game scheduled for this Thursday as well. Please take every precaution to help us mitigate this rapid spread. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
