Focus on the Fabulous

May 16, 2022

On Monday, May 9th, Center High School held the annual HS Evening Awards. Adele Alfson, our HS counselor, does an amazing job putting this event together each year. We are thankful to all of the generous organizations, families, and universities that gave generously to honor our students. More than $150,000 was awarded to our students by generous donors. The list of all the awards, recipients, and donors is listed at the end of the COF. These students are setting out on the right foot! Congratulations to each of them.













Thursday, our students took part in the last ICAP of the year. It’s always impressive to see the great work that is being done in our district in regard to Post-Secondary and Workforce Readiness. Our district is one of the best in the state, thanks to the hard work of our staff! I had the privilege of sitting in on senior exit interviews. Our students did an incredible job presenting their electronic portfolios that included their stories, accomplishments, scholarships, essays, future goals, and financial next steps. The students shared heartfelt stories about the challenges they have faced and the strategies they used to overcome those challenges. It was an honor to listen to their stories and be a part of this process. Our students are entering the next phase of their lives with the skills and knowledge to go out and be successful in all that they do!






We got to see evidence of that when some of our alumni came back to share with our current students.



Later in the day, our seniors spoke to middle school students and gave them words of advice.
