The 1980's marked the opening of our current Centralia Elementary School, marking the fourth iteration of the district’s original school. 🏫✨

What makes Centralia so unique? It’s both our oldest school and our newest campus. From its early one-room schoolhouse beginnings to the modern pod campus serving students today, Centralia’s story is one of growth and resilience.
