History

Construction of Centennial Collegiate began on June 1, 2006, and it officially opened in the fall of 2006, having a total of $18.4 million invested in the construction of the school by the Saskatchewan government and the Saskatoon school division. Centennial was constructed in order to recognize Saskatchewan becoming a province and the birth of Saskatoon.

The school colors (red, black, and gold), and the team name (Chargers), were selected in 2005 by a committee of grade eights from Collegiate's feeder schools. Dylan Wingert, Braedon Harper and Parmeet Sidhu, students of Silverspring School, designed the logo of the Collegiate.

Centennial's feeder schools are Willowgrove School, Dr. John G. Egnatoff School, École Forest Grove School, Silverspring School, Sutherland School and Sylvia Fedoruk School.
