In 1984–85, the school was recognized as one of the top 100 high schools in the country through the USDE Secondary School Recognition Program.[4] In 1996, Centennial High School was the first high school within Maryland to achieve the excellence standard in all categories of the Maryland State Performance Assessment Program's (MSPAP) report card.[citation needed] The school maintained these standards throughout 2000 and 2001. In 2008, the school was nominated by U.S. News & World Report as a "silver medal" school, placing in the top 505 high schools nationwide.[5] In a 2012 joint study by Newsweek and The Daily Beast, Centennial was ranked the second-best public high school in Maryland and number 111 in the nation.[6] In 2014, Centennial was ranked as the best public school in Maryland and the United States.[7] In 2017 the school was awarded "gold medal" by US News & World Report which ranked it as the best school nationwide.[8]
In 2015, the Centennial men's basketball team bested Westlake for the Maryland 3A state title.[9]
