Congratulations!

The Orphan track meet at Lindenwood on Saturday, April 15th has been cancelled.
The local police department (CPD) received a general threat of an active shooter at Centralia High School this morning. Several police officers from Centralia and surrounding departments immediately swept the entire building. Nothing was found to validate the threat. This same threat has been reported in several communities across the state today. CHS will have extra police officers in the building and in the parking lot the rest of the day today. Students will also be on a soft lockdown, which means students will be allowed to move about the interior of the building, but not allowed to go outside for PE, internships, etc. without an administrative or police escort. CHS will have extra officers patrolling the grounds during regular dismissal time. As always, the top priority at CHS is to provide a safe environment for our students. We will continue to take extra precautions if and when there is even the slightest risk to our students.
