Centennial History
Opened in August 1999, Centennial Elementary was named to commemorate the 100 Year Anniversary of Plano Independent School District.
A century ago, a single school house with a handful of students sprang up from the abundant grasslands of the Blackland Prairie, and rapidly emerged into one of the country's premier school districts, growing to 100 square miles and 55,000 students. This success would not have been possible without the vision of great superintendents and community leaders. Centennial Elementary is the legacy to a century of visionaries who created a district rich in history with a profound Tradition to Excellence and a promise to the future.
Mission: We, Centennial Elementary, with the support of family and community, commit to academic excellence and to the development of life-long learners today, who will become responsible citizens of tomorrow.
