History
Construction of Centennial Collegiate began on June 1, 2006, and officially opened in the fall of 2006,[2] having a total of $18.4 million invested in the construction of the school by the Saskatchewan government and the Saskatoon school division. Centennial was constructed in order to recognize Saskatchewan becoming a province and the birth of Saskatoon. The school colors (Red, Black, and Gold), and the team-name (Chargers), were selected in 2005 by a committee of grade eight's from the Collegiate's feeder schools. Dylan Wingert, Braedon Harper and Parmeet Sidhu, three students of Silverspring School, designed the logo of the Collegiate.[3]
Currently, its feeder schools are Willowgrove School, Dr. John G. Egnatoff School, École Forest Grove School, Silverspring School, Sutherland School and Sylvia Fedoruk School.
