Principal's Page

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Centennial Middle School website.  Centennial Middle School is home to 700+ students in 7^th and 8^th grade.

I was born and raised in Yuma and am proud to say that I attended Yuma area public schools.  I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in English/Secondary Education and a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration. This year is my twenty-fourth year in the Crane District as an administrator and have served as the principal at Pueblo, Mesquite and Gary A. Knox.  Before coming to Crane, I taught and served in various administrative roles in the Yuma Union High School District, the last one being the Director of Professional Development.  My K-12 educational experience brings me confidence in serving in this administrative role. 

Centennial has many things of which to be proud.  I’m certain that once you spend time on our campus, you’ll agree that our school is a wonderful, welcoming environment for all students.  I encourage you to take the time to visit our campus and see the amazing things happening.
