Although situated in a prosperous area of Columbus, the boundaries for attending stretch along a narrow corridor towards the south which encompasses a variety of neighborhoods and socioeconomic statuses. The attendance area is bordered by Upper Arlington to the west, Grandview and Victorian Village to the south, Whetstone High School's attendance area to the east, and Worthington to the north. Centennial's sports teams include Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, Baseball, Golf, Wrestling, Softball, Swimming, Track, Cross Country, Cheerleading, Bowling, Lacrosse, and Tennis. The football stadium includes a 400 meter track in addition to a natural grass field. Other facilities include three baseball/softball fields, however only two are used on a regular basis due to the third field's proximity to busy Bethel road and the risks foul balls would cause. Like most other Columbus High Schools (except for Walnut Ridge), Centennial has three tennis courts, although room was provided for a full five (which makes matches go much more quickly). The adjacent area remains an open field with trees at the edge. The school colors are red, white and blue. The school mascot is a Star. Due to the proximity of the two schools (2.5 miles), Centennial and Whetsone have a very intense sports rivalry. Every football season, in the last week, the two teams take part in the battle for the Olentangy, named after the Olentangy River that separates the two schools.
