The school offers college-prep coursework alongside CTE pathways, arts, Military Science or NJROTC, clubs and NIAA athletics. Course offerings, dual-credit partners and pathway availability can change, so confirm current options with counseling.

How families get in

Centennial is a zoned school. Families should verify the exact home address through the CCSD zoning lookup and then use standard CCSD enrollment.

Admission is normally based on the student's home address.
Neighborhood or development names do not confirm school assignment.
Out-of-zone enrollment or a zone variance may be subject to district rules and available capacity.
Do not assume an out-of-zone seat is available.

Check the address

Use the official CCSD zoning lookup for the exact street address.
Recheck zoning before buying or moving because boundaries and capacity can change.

Transportation, out-of-zone admission and pathway seats are not guaranteed. Confirm current rules and capacity with CCSD and the school.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

You live in the Centennial attendance zone and want academics, CTE, arts and athletics on one campus.
Your student is comfortable in a large-school environment with many clubs and sports.
You want access to CTE or AP options without applying through a magnet lottery.

Think twice when

Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment or a variance.
Your student prefers a small campus or a full-magnet Career and Technical Academy setting.
You need a guaranteed specialized magnet track rather than zoned-school electives.

Program availability, enrollment and capacity can shift. Confirm current conditions directly with the school and CCSD.
