Centreville Class of 2025 Students and Families,
We are exactly five weeks away from graduation! Several exciting events and celebrations are coming up to honor your time at Centreville and all that you’ve accomplished.
First and foremost, seniors, I want to emphasize the importance of finishing strong. While we’re eager to celebrate your graduation and the next chapter of your lives, it’s essential that you complete this journey successfully.
Senior exams will begin on May 27. After your final exam, you’ll need to return your laptop and charger. Please also make sure that all student debts and obligations are resolved in order to receive your cap and gown. Detailed instructions for resolving debts can be found in the Important Information section of this bulletin.
Seniors, don’t forget to sign up for the Graduation Walk. This is a special event where graduates visit their former elementary and middle schools to walk the halls in cap and gown. It’s a powerful way to reflect on where you began and how far you’ve come. Sign-up links for each school are included below.
Thank you and Go Wildcats!
Dr. Erik Healey
