Cougar Strength is designed for ALL CENTENNIAL STUDENT ATHLETES who want to develop explosive power, absolute strength, muscular endurance, speed, quickness, agility, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness. The program achieves these measured athletic qualities from the use of Olympic lifts and their variations along with other movement preparatory exercises; high-intensity, strength-building exercises; exercises containing plyometric properties; proper technique and teaching progressions; and researched program design and periodization. Cougar Strength is the only program in the school that connects ALL of our athletes and brings them into one room with a common goal - developing themselves as an athlete to help their teams be successful.

GRASP is a 9-week correspondence program designed to help students just finishing grades K to 8 to help review and maintain reading and math skills learned during the school year while they are on summer break. It should take your child approximately one hour per week to complete each weekly lesson. We suggest parents order the grade level your child is currently attending (not a grade level ahead). If there are extenuating circumstances, order the grade level that is appropriate for your child. You can view sample pages at grps.org. Lessons are completed, mailed or dropped off at Centennial Community Education, where they are scored and then returned. Instruction sheets found in each packet provide all the necessary information. All lessons must be submitted or postmarked no later than Monday, August 14. Students who have successfully completed at least 7 lessons with 70% or higher accuracy are awarded a certificate. Those that successfully complete all lessons with 70% accuracy or higher will receive a medal. Medals will go home with Centennial students through school upon return in the fall. Medals and certificates for non-Centennial students will be mailed. The enrollment fee is $26 for one subject, and $48 for both math and reading (bundle must be for the same child). Looking to order both math and reading but your child is advanced in one of the subjects (example: grade 1 reading level, grade 2 math level)? No problems, select the packet bundle option - the subject level needed will be asked during the checkout process. (Not common for most children) All materials will be sent home with Centennial students the last week of school. For elementary students, please include your child's current teacher's name when registering. Grades 6-8: Will complete GRASP lessons online - no books or scoring sheets. All information will be communicated via email from GRASP directly with log in information. Registration deadline is Friday, April 26. Missed the deadline, but still want to participate? You can order packets directly from GRSP grasp.grps.org at the individual price of $38 for one subject or $68 for two and they will mail directly to you.
