What makes Century special
Academic excellence and industry partnerships: Century provides a high-level academic environment, offering more than 40 college-credit attainment courses. Through unique partnerships with local organizations like Mayo Clinic, our students gain specialized opportunities and real-world insights that prepare them for success beyond high school.
A community of inclusion and respect: We pride ourselves on a diverse student and staff population where that diversity is both celebrated and expressed. As a comprehensive high school, Century is a place where students with wide-ranging life stories can find their niche and enjoy a culture of acceptance and respect.
On-site support and student connection: To help our Panthers achieve success, we staff qualified individuals who provide specific support directly in the building, limiting the need for students to leave school to access resources. With over 60 different athletic and non-athletic activities, clubs, and organizations, every student has the chance to build a strong connection with their peers and their school.
