Over the past several months students have worked countless hours to prepare for UIL  District competition. This Friday and Saturday Centennial had 45 students compete. Those countless hours certainly paid off, we have 6 students advancing on to Regionals at the end of April and 6 students who were named alternates.  Congratulations to all of those who competed and those who will represent Centennial at Regional Competition.
