Centreville Students, Families, and Community,
This week, we had the opportunity to truly celebrate the accomplishments of our students, both inside and outside the classroom, and it was a powerful reminder of what makes our Wildcat community so special. We proudly recognized 20 student-athletes from the Class of 2026 who will continue their athletic journeys at the collegiate level. This is an incredible achievement, and we celebrate not only their hard work and dedication, but also the support of their families, coaches, and teachers who helped them reach this milestone.
I also had the pleasure of congratulating our Boys’ Soccer student-athletes and their families during Senior Night, a meaningful moment to honor their commitment and contributions to our school community. In addition, I had the chance to admire the remarkable artistic talents of students from across the Centreville pyramid at our Pyramid Art Show. The creativity and passion on display truly showcased the depth of talent and dedication that exists throughout the Wildcat Nation.
I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to our PTSA for their leadership in organizing what we hope will become a wonderful new tradition at Centreville High School. On Saturday, we hosted our first annual CVHS Thrift Sale, and it was heartwarming to see our community come together in such a meaningful way. Families generously donated clothing, books, home goods, artwork, and more to support the event, and it was equally inspiring to see so many members of our community come out to shop and connect. Events like this reflect the strength of our community and the ways we continue to support one another.
As we look ahead, we encourage all students and families to join us for our upcoming PTSA meeting on Tuesday, April 14 at 6:00 PM. This is a great opportunity to get involved, stay informed, and hear directly from students, parents, and staff about all that is happening at Centreville High School.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for all that you do to make Centreville such a vibrant and supportive community.
Go Wildcats!
Dr. Erik Healey, Principal

Artistry Showcased from Across the Centreville Pyramid: Last week’s Centreville Pyramid Art Show was a vibrant celebration of the creativity, artistry, and talent of students from Centreville High School as well as our feeder middle and elementary schools. The event highlighted the strength of our art programs across the pyramid, providing students with meaningful opportunities to explore a variety of artistic mediums and share their unique visions. It was inspiring to see the growth and passion for the arts reflected at every level. We extend our sincere thanks to the art instructors at each school, with special appreciation for our Centreville High School art teachers for their leadership in organizing and executing such a wonderful event.
Celebrating Our College-Bound Student-Athletes: We are proud to recognize the 20 Centreville High School student-athletes who will be continuing their athletic careers at the collegiate level.

Their commitment to excellence, teamwork, and character has left a lasting mark on our school community.
