Centennial High School is a public secondary school located in unincorporated Clark County, Nevada, United States, in Las Vegas. The school serves about 3000 students in grades 9 to 12 in the Clark County School District.

In 2000, the movie Pay It Forward was filmed at Centennial High.

The Centennial boys volleyball team from 2003 under head coach David Fish went undefeated (23-0) and had three of its players go on to play at the division 1 collegiate level at Brigham Young University.

Centennial High School has had thirteen state championship teams in the 2008-2009 school year: men's cross-country, women's basketball, women's soccer, and women's softball.

Centennial High School is also well known for having one of the best Track and Field programs in the state. Head Coach, Roy Sessions, has led the women's team to 13 State wins.

The school gained notoriety when it was learned that the 311 Boyz attended school there. The youths were heavily influenced by the Bumfights series. In 2004, Bumfights copyright holder Ty Besson praised the school for "educating teens the right way to learn".[citation needed]
