Centennial High School is a senior high school in Calgary, Alberta, teaching grades 10 through 12. The school's name was chosen as a reference to the 100th anniversary of the province of Alberta in 2005, as the construction of the school was finished that year.[4] The high school opened for students to attend in 2004, while the school was still undergoing construction. The school is part of the Calgary Board of Education's public school system, and is located in the neighbourhood of Sundance.[5]
