Centennial Christian School
Principal: Curtis Tuininga
Students: 209
Teachers: 15
Centennial began with students in Grades 1 to 7 in 1967, Canada's centennial year, in facilities rented from the Christian Reformed Church. Through the donation of land and money and the dedicated work of volunteers, a new facility was built in 1988/1989. In June of 2002, Centennial Christian School celebrated its first ever Grade 12 graduation. In the spring of 2008, a preschool was added. Today, our inter-denominational school accommodates more than 200 students from Preschool through Grade 12.
