Century Star tradition is alive and well!

In a time-honored Century tradition, our dedicated Council members hand‑drew over 1,100 personalized stars, ensuring that every student, faculty, and staff member has their very own celestial shine. What started as a simple way to recognize each individual in our school quickly blossomed into an epic creative undertaking. Over the course of the school year, Student Council members carefully crafted each star—meticulously adding names, colors, and little flourishes that make every single one unique. From the bright hues of freshmen to the deep tones of our senior class, no two stars are alike, just like the people they represent!

It’s incredible to see how much care goes into every star,” says secretary Meagan Brockett. “the students learn a little bit about each person’s interests, favorite colors—even their little quirks. It’s like drawing a map of our entire school family. I still have my stars from when I was a student here, and they're proudly displayed with all of my stars I have as a staff member. It's a really special tradition.

Principal Brockett is perhaps our greatest fan of this stellar display. 

I love watching their faces,” Mrs. Brockett shares with a smile. “The moment they spot their star, it’s like they suddenly discover a piece of themselves shining back at them. That spark—that joy—is exactly why we keep this tradition alive year after year.

While these stars certainly brighten up our corridors, the heart of the tradition goes much deeper. They symbolize unity, recognition, and the simple joy of being seen. Your star is a reminder that you belong here—right at Century. So next time you stroll down our hallways, take a moment to find your star. Pause under its glow and remember: you’re an essential part of this community constellation, and we couldn’t be prouder to shine alongside you!
