Academics
Century High School is a comprehensive high school offering a full range of a-g courses necessary for University of California and Cal State acceptance. Within the last two years, CST scores have gone higher than expected and have improved; however, not enough to keep the school off of the state's list of persistently low-performing schools. The challenges faced by students and faculty are almost insurmountable, yet each year students come back to find dedicated and caring faculty who meet these obstacles head on. In 2014, Century received a six-year WASC accreditation, almost unheard of for school the federal government considers to not be meeting its AYP.
Athletics
Century High School athletics include: football, basketball, soccer, Polynesian, tennis, track and field, cross country, volleyball, softball, baseball, wrestling and some smaller branches of physical education such as dance, Pep Squad, NJROTC, colorguard. Century's Pep Squad and Colorguard members are recognized for their achievements in National competition and for their spirit and motivation.
