The school opened in 1987 and serves neighborhoods in western Boise and Meridian. The centennial of Idaho statehood was observed in 1990.
The school colors of Centennial are maroon and silver, and the mascot is the Patriot. In athletics, CHS competes in class 5A, for the highest enrollments in the state. The school is a member of the 5A Southern Idaho Conference (SIC).
Between 1988 and 2006, Centennial Patriots sports teams won state championships in football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, cross country, and track and field. Centennial's achievements include the 2003-04 football season where they had a record of 12-0, and 2007 State Wrestling Championship. The Centennial High school lacrosse team has also claimed the Treasure Valley Lacrosse League title three years in a row as well as winning the first ever Idaho state championship in 2008 with an undefeated record of 18-0 in 2008.
The Centennial High Marching Band has won the sweepstakes award at the District III Marching Festival eleven times. Centennial has a Symphonic band consisting of students the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, a concert band consisting of 9th graders and a Jazz Ensemble consisting of members of the Symphonic band that have completed an audition. They also have an all volunteer pep band that plays at basketball games.
The Centennial Drama Department, known as the Image Factory, has won the state Drama competition the last six years running, and District competition ten years in a row. Image Factory does an average of 3 plays a year, and a school wide musical every other year.
The school's Sweet Liberty Dance Team is a four-time national champion (2004, 2005, 2006, and 2009). Centennial also has a strong marching band and Color Guard program which won the local District III marching competition 12 years in a row and many other awards throughout the Northwest. Centennial has also won multiple state championships in academic decathlon, and yearbook competitions. The yearbook took 4th in nationals in its division. The school newspaper is the Patriot Ledger, which is a member of the High School National Ad Network. The Patriot Ledger also won the Best of Show Award at the IJAA (Idaho Journalism Advisers Association) competition in 2007.
