Centennial High School

General information

Centennial High School is a high school located in Pueblo, Colorado. It serves roughly 1000 students in grades 9 through 12. The school is a part of Pueblo City Schools. Centennial High School started out as a 16 x 20 foot structure built in 1873 at 421 North Santa Fe Avenue. Six years later, a larger adobe building went up at Eleventh and Court Streets. This school was first called the High School of District One or Pueblo High School, but when Colorado was admitted to the Union one hundred years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the High School gradually began to be called "The Centennial" in honor of Colorado being "The Centennial State." At some point, locals dropped the article and began referring to the school as Centennial High School.
