Centaurus hosts a Pre-Engineering Academy and an International Baccalaureate World School. Located in Lafayette, CO, our population of just over 1000 students enjoy the rich academic, athletic, and extracurricular offerings Centaurus provides.  Although our student body is small, we are able to offer a plethora of courses, sports, and activities common to much larger schools.  Our students have been recipients of the Boettcher, the Bill & Melinda Gates Millenium, and our own CU-Boulder Engineering Academy Scholarships - among others.

 

Have you heard: 

  • Our Pre-Engineering Academy continues to grow, and 14 Class of 2009 graduates earned the recognition of Distinguished Engineering Graduate!

  • 80 juniors and seniors earned the leadership role as a CHS 360 Degree peer leader.

  • 94% of our students earned excellent attendance.

 Message to Parents

Dear Warrior Parents,

It’s hard to believe that we are in the second half of our first semester.  Our students have remained focused on their studies and are doing very well.  I am extremely proud of their hard work and accomplishments.  Although hard to believe, we only have a few weeks before final exams.  Now is the time for students to begin studying.  Most final exams are comprehensive final exams.  In other words, they cover the entire semester.  Thus, students should continue to review their notes and previous tests so that they are the best prepared.

Centaurus High School’s Open Enrollment Night is November 17th at 6:00 p.m.  Please encourage your neighbors of high school-aged students to visit Centaurus High School’s OE night and to learn more about the excellent academia and extra-curricular activities we offer.

I would like to thank the many parents who have donated their time and resources this year.  I was overwhelmed by the amount of tissues and hand sanitizers we received from parent donations.  You are helping keep all of our students and staff healthy during cold/flu season.  I would also like to thank the many parents who have attended our School Improvement Team meetings.  This year, we have expanded our parent meetings to also include students and staff.  Thank you for supporting Centaurus High School!
