- Bullying

- Gang activity

My name is Sara Pair and I am the College Readiness Coordinator at Centennial High School. My duties at Centennial include AP Coordinator, Dual Credit Coordinator and AVID coordinator. But most importantly, I am here to help with your College and Career needs. For this reason I have set up a link where you can book a time with me to discuss any questions you may have. I will be available most days from 8-9am for 30 minute private meetings with parents and students. I prefer to meet in person with parent(s) and student together, however, I know that everyone has a busy schedule! If you are unable to come in person, you are welcome to schedule a time through the link below for a phone meeting. If these times don’t work, please contact me by email to discuss other options. Topics include, but aren’t limited to: Scholarships, Applications, SAT/ACT/TSI, Career Advising, Financial Aid, 2 year vs. 4 year schools, etc.
CLICK HERE to schedule your time slot and I will be happy to help in any way I can.
