William Tennent students showcase arts and athletics; Centennial to host county music festival
Summary
The board heard student performers preview the 'Mean Girls' musical, recognized wrestler Brock Rudy for his 100th win, and confirmed the district will host the Bucks County Music Educators Association festival this month.
The Centennial School District board meeting opened with student performances and recognitions highlighting the district’s arts and athletics programs.
Students from William Tennent High School gave a short preview from the musical 'Mean Girls' and promoted show dates on March 27 and 28, encouraging community attendance. Teacher Dina McAffrey introduced the cast; board members and the public applauded the performance.
Elizabeth Peterson, a junior and Level 200 networking and operating-systems student at NBIT, described recent student achievements at the National Association of Homebuilder Student Competition (earning a 'Rookie of the Year' honor), automotive students receiving Pennsylvania emissions inspector licenses, and a successful blood drive that collected 29 pints — an accomplishment district officials noted as directly benefiting local healthcare providers.
The board also recognized wrestler Brock Rudy for reaching 100 career victories, calling him one of just six students in school history to reach that milestone and praising his athletic and academic record.
Finally, the board announced Centennial will host the 75th Bucks County Music Educators Association (BCMEA) festival, bringing roughly 600 student musicians to district venues; ticket and schedule details were provided for concerts later in the week.
Trustees used these presentations to remind the public about upcoming middle- and high-school productions and to solicit volunteer support for the BCMEA event.
