What a great opening to the school year. Our students are engaged and learning. My Vision for our school is to provide a fun, safe, caring, and challenging environment for learning for staff, students, and parents.

Please check PowerSchool often to keep informed of you child's progress in each of his/her classes. If you need help logging in to PowerSchool, please contact the school.

I encourage you to make sure your student is in school. Attendance is critical to students' success. Students who are consistently in school have better grades and do better on local, state, and national tests. It is important that parents and schools work together to make sure every child is in school. See below for an infographic on attendance.

Let's make it a great year!

Mrs. Wilhelm is our new art teacher this year. She is a BGSU graduate with three years of teaching experience in Columbus. After staying home with her three children, she was a dedicated substitute teacher for five years in our district. Taking over the art room and turning it into a bright and colorful studio was her first goal. Mrs. Wilhelm's teaching style and project ideas allow for students to have choices and be creative. As a long-term Centerburg resident, she loved taking part in the Oldtime Farming Festival Youth Art Show this fall. You'll frequently see her volunteering in the community as well. If you're interested in seeing CES artists at work and art displays around our school, she shares many pictures online. You can follow ces.artstagram on Instagram.

Mrs. Stimmel's classes have been learning about the different regions of the United States. First, they researched about a region that they were the most interested in. They made scrapbooks about the physical features, landmarks, natural resources and fun facts about the region. Next, they learned how to create a slideshow from the scrapbooks. They learned how to add transitions and effects to enhance their presentations. The students worked great together on proofreading each other's work and presenting in front of their classmates.
