Centennial School District:

A Rich History of Educational Excellence

The Centennial School District, located in the vibrant community of East Portland, Oregon, has a storied history dating back to its establishment in 1854. The district has grown and evolved over the years, as a result of consolidation of several smaller districts to form what is now a comprehensive educational system serving over 6,700 students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Centennial has always been committed to providing high-quality education, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for all students.

The 2020 Bond: A Testament to Community Support and Vision

In May 2020, the Centennial community demonstrated its support for education by approving a $65 million bond measure. This bond was a pivotal moment for the district, addressing critical infrastructure needs, enhancing safety and security systems, and adding gymnasiums to four elementary schools that previously lacked dedicated gym spaces. One of the standout projects was the transformation of Oliver Elementary back into a middle school, ensuring that the district could better serve its growing student population.

The successful completion of these projects, despite challenges such as inflation and supply chain issues, is a testament to the district’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and community engagement. The bond projects have not only improved the physical infrastructure of the schools but have also created safer, more conducive learning environments for students and staff.

R&C Management: Proud Partners in Progress

R&C Management Group has been honored to partner with Centennial School District throughout this transformative journey. Our role as the program and project management firm for the 2020 Bond Program has allowed us to work closely with the district, ensuring that every project was completed on time and within budget.
