Ron Pennington
Dr. George Benson was the first superintendent of the Centennial School District. His vision and leadership of the Centennial School District made us a well known and respected school district. George was passionate about education and making sure our students received the best learning experience possible. He led our district for 18 years and during that time he co-founded the Centennial Educational Foundation.
Ron Pennington became a full time volunteer of the Centennial School District in 1992. He loved being around the students and spent many hours just being "there" for them. Ron was a co-founder of the Centennial Educational Foundation and was the foundation President for many years. His drive and passion truly made a difference in the school district and Ron will always be remembered as a voulunteer extraordinaire.
