Centennial High student honored for Eagle Scout project; Meadows Elementary demonstrates morning meeting program

The Centennial School District board recognized Centennial High School student Henry Doyle for leading an Eagle Scout project that improved the high-school courtyard and band spaces and installed new benches. Doyle described his fundraising efforts — "I fundraised for about $2,000 for the bench" — and said he organized volunteers, worked with maintenance for quality checks and coordinated delivery and installation.

Meadows Elementary Principal Lisa Klingen and staff presented the school’s morning-meeting routine, explaining it is part of a broader focus on belonging tied to the district’s Roadmap '27 goals. Teachers demonstrated the four components of the meeting — greeting, activity, sharing and morning message — and shared a student-survey result showing 82.9% of respondents currently report a sense of belonging; the school set a goal of raising that to 90% by year end.

Board members and student representatives praised the student-led courtyard improvements and the elementary practice, and asked logistical questions about how morning meetings scale across grades. The superintendent noted responsive-classroom practices are in place at elementary and middle levels and restorative practices are being used at the high-school level as part of district SEL and equity work.
