Centennial is a suburban community bridging the cities of Portland and Gresham, Oregon. Downtown Portland, Portland International Airport and Mt. Hood Community College are all within a 20-minute drive.

To meet the needs of the growth, the district completed a new elementary school and major renovation of Centennial High School in 2003.
