King of the Court

Mireya Saldana, Cen10 News Reporter

From being named this year’s Homecoming King to dribbling a ball up the court, Marcus Webb is well known around Centennial. Webb has been part of the Life Skills program for the past 4 years and will be graduating in June.

“He’s grown up a lot. He’s come a long way, but with the help of the teachers, it’s made him a better student now,” Marcus’ mother, Margaret said. “He’ll be able to take [the skills he’s learned] with him when he transitions out of high school.”

The students and staff at Centennial will miss the great times Marcus has given them these past four years when he graduates in June with the class of 2016.
