The fifth grade teachers at Centerville Elementary School believe that all students are capable of learning. We are committed to providing our students with an opportunity to meet and/or exceed the county and state standards through effective and continuous planning, implementing, evaluating and reviewing of the curriculum, in an educational setting that is safe and conducive to learning.
