The students joined cheerleaders from across the country to honor veterans, commemorate history, and celebrate the spirit of unity that defines the event. Coach Sabrina Zamora accompanied the group, offering guidance and support throughout the unforgettable experience.
This year, Centennial had a total of eight All American Cheerleaders selected, a remarkable accomplishment for the program. While only three were able to attend the parade, the entire Centennial community celebrates their achievement and the dedication it represents.
Congratulations to our standout athletes for carrying the Hawk spirit all the way to Hawaii!
During this season of giving we’re honored to spotlight our Project Link Homeless Education Program (McKinney Vento) team. This incredible team walks alongside students and families experiencing homelessness or housing instability. From coordinating resources and transportation to providing warm clothing, school supplies, and vital community connections, this team brings light to families who need it most — not just during the holidays, but all year long. The Project Link team is made up of quiet heroes and fierce advocates who meet every situation with compassion and dignity. They work behind the scenes every day to remove barriers so students can stay focused on what matters most: learning. Their compassion reminds us that the true spirit of the season is found in lifting others up and their work truly reflects the heart of LCPS—where every child is seen, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.
Join us in thanking the Project Link team for being the steady source of hope for so many in our LCPS community!

As the holiday season approaches, we invite you to join our friends in Federal Programs in spreading a little extra joy to our students. Many children in our district are hoping for a gift this Christmas, and with your support, we can help make their wish come true.

There are still 90 stars waiting to be chosen. If you feel called to brighten a child’s holiday, please select one (or more) and bring it to the receptionist or to the Federal Programs Department so we can register your gift.
Extended deadline: Wrapped gifts may be returned to the Federal Programs Department through Wednesday, Dec. 10, by 5:00 p.m.

Today we’re proud to shine a spotlight on Michael “Mikey” Lopez, the beloved security officer at Arrowhead Park Early College High School! Now in his third year at APECHS, Mikey brings more than just experience to campus, he brings heart. After serving 23 years as a correctional officer, he uses the lessons from his career to guide students away from bad decisions and toward better paths, always with honesty, compassion, and humor.
But Mikey’s impact stretches far beyond traditional security duties. He’s the guy who will help staff with car trouble, cook breakfast on freezing mornings, and safely wrangle any desert critter brave enough to wander onto campus. No matter the situation, he leads with his signature approach: “Calm down, we got this.”
Students adore him. Staff rely on him. And Mikey, in return, says the best part of his job is working in a place “where people are kind to each other.” He shares that being at APECHS has changed his life — it’s a positive environment where he truly loves coming to work and making a difference every single day.
Thank you, Mikey, for keeping Arrowhead Park safe, supported, and thriving!
