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.

Tomorrow's Games for the Centre Boys and Girls
Centre Boys vs Herington Boys at 6:00 PM
Centre Girls vs Elyria Girls at 7:30 PM
Both games will be in the Main Gym.

Please check your email for important information regarding COVID testing.

It is time to pay for the 2nd semester milk card for grades Pre-K thru 4th. If you would like for your child to have milk at the milk break for the 2nd semester, please send $35.00 for your child's milk card. This covers all of the milk breaks for the 2nd semester. Please have payment sent in to the school office by January 20th.
Thank You!

Good evening. This is the Centre school office. Due to a few positive covid cases, we are asking that the following elementary classes wear masks beginning tomorrow. We would like for this practice to continue for the next ten days. Classes affected are: first grade, second grade, third grade, and fourth grade. Thank you for working with us to keep kids safe and to keep them in school. We appreciate your efforts.
