Profile of a Graduate: Vision & Purpose

The Profile of a Graduate is a guiding vision for our preK-12 educational system that identifies the essential knowledge, skills, disposition, and interpersonal competencies a Centennial School District student will develop over the course of their educational journey for readiness and success in their future endeavors.  The Profile of a Graduate serves as a guide for deepening the quality of educational experience for our students, ensuring that they develop not only the knowledge they need, but also the abilities to apply critical thinking, adapt, collaborate, and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

During the 2024-25 school year, teams of stakeholders will be coming together to design a cohesive plan that integrates the vision of our Profile of a Graduate across all schools and grade levels in the Centennial School District. Utilizing valuable input from our students, staff, families, and community members, this design process will implement the components of the Profile of a Graduate into instructional practice, providing all Centennial students with the opportunity to develop critical knowledge, skills, and abilities during the course of their K-12 education that will shape their future success.
