Century High School is located in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1997. Its principal is Martha Guise. The school's mascot is the jaguar, and its colors are black, teal, and silver. As of 2016, the school's graduation rate was 86%.
In 2008, 85% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 390 students, 330 graduated, 31 dropped out, five received a modified diploma, and 24 were still in high school the following year.
Several Certificate of Advanced Mastery (CAM) courses are available at Century, including Health Services, Digital Technology, PAC (Professions Assisting the Community), Business, and FAME (Fine Arts). Students choose their CAM in their junior year and start taking the prerequisites for the classes. The CAM classes give students time to work on their senior project, which must be completed before they can graduate.
The CIM (Certificate of Initial Mastery) is an acknowledgment that a student has met rigorous standards by acquiring skills in several academic areas. Both CIM and CAM requirements are being phased out of the Hillsboro School District.
Century's softball team competed in the 2010 state championship game, losing to Glencoe. In 2011, the softball team won the state championship, the first team title in any sport for Century.
The school's football team began in 1997 with home games at Hare Field until the 1999 season when Hillsboro Stadium opened, which is where their home games are currently played.
In 2014, Century's girls' swimming team took first place in the state of Oregon, the second state championship of any sport in the school.
