“The Roar of the Cougars”
O, Come and sing Centennial’s praise
In her honor voices raise
For the friends we’ve learned to know
Who make our hearts and faces glow,
Many days already gone
We’ll remember with our song,
We owe you much our hearts confess
Our beloved C- H- S.

Music: Robert M. McCheyne
Arrangement & Lyrics: Thomas Boquet & Daniel Pryor, CHS – Ms. Felicia Barber’s AP Music Theory Class Spring 2006

We actually sing and play the CHS Fight Song to the tune of “On Wisconsin.”
Here’s how the lyrics translate to Centennial:

“CHS”
CHS, CHS, plunge right through that line.
Run the ball clear down the field, a touchdown sure this time.
CHS, CHS, fight on for her fame.
Fight, fellows, fight, fight, fight, we’ll win this game.
CHS, CHS, stand up, Cougars, sing.
“Forward” is our driving spirit, loyal voices ring.
CHS, CHS, raise her glowing flame.
Stand, fellows, let us now salute her name.

The official mascot of Centennial High School is the Cougar, known by the Latin name Felis concolor, and our brand symbol is the Power Cat. During the 2013-2014 school year, our student body affectionately christened our very own cougar with the name Clyde. 

Centennial High School opened its doors in August of 1996. The faculty and administration reflect the diversity and richness of Williamson County. Representing all corners of the community, these individuals possess a unique blend of background and expertise. They strive to offer an unparalleled commitment, providing students with a quality education that promises to make Centennial High School synonymous with excellence.

Offering optimal education experiences in a modern facility, the physical structure of Centennial High School reflects Williamson County’s commitment to innovation, technology, and education. Structurally striking and aesthetically pleasing, this two-story plan integrates technology with a positive learning environment that will prepare students for life-long learning in the 21st century (see virtual tour). The design and construction of Centennial High School foster expectations for excellence.

A user-friendly college and career counseling center is networked online to colleges and universities. Twelve science laboratories allow for extensive hands-on experimentation. Three fully-networked computer laboratories focus on business applications, computer literacy, and programming.

In addition, a fully-networked communications lab services the technology broadcasting program, yearbook production, and journalism. Each classroom houses a minimum of one computer; in addition, students have access to a computerized library media center and several technology classrooms that include computer and dark-room capability.

The facility also houses the county’s first and only Cosmetology Program and the new WiT Center.

All instructional environments focus on assisting and expanding the learning potential of the student, creating safe situations through which students may develop into educated, responsible citizens of a global society.
