Dear Centennial Parents, Guardians, Community Members, Faculty, and Staff,

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) requires school districts to develop a Comprehensive Plan on a three-year cycle. Centennial’s 2026–2029 Comprehensive Plan is due for renewal by March 2026 and includes district priorities, goals, instructional strategies, and required state assurances, along with companion plans such as Gifted Education (Chapter 16), Induction (Chapter 49), and Professional Development (Act 48).

In Spring 2025, Centennial convened a Comprehensive Planning Steering Committee made up of faculty, staff, administrators, students, parents, community members, and partners. The committee and its subgroups worked collaboratively throughout Spring, Summer, and Fall 2025 to develop the draft Comprehensive Plan and required state reports for submission by March 31, 2026.

As part of PDE’s required 28-day public review period, we collected community feedback utilizing the ThoughtExchange platform which was open until Monday, February 9, 2026 at 11:59pm.

A high level overview of the community feedback can be viewed through ThoughtExchange.

We invite you to review the CSD 2026-2029 Comprehensive Plan Materials listed below.
