Centennial's 'People' moving on

Centennial High School has its sites set on Sacramento where it will represent Kern County at the California "We the People The Citizen and the Constitution" congressional hearings competition from Feb. 6-8. Centennial earned the right by defeating Arvin High in the region four championships held Dec. 4 at California State University, Bakersfield. Centennial and Arvin emerged from a field of 13 Kern County high schools to be crowned congressional district winners. Teams competed in either the 22nd or 20th Congressional Districts with Centennial winning the 22nd District trophy and emerging as the overall champion based on total team score. Arvin was the 20th Congressional District winner. Arvin's loss to Centennial does not necessarily mean it is out of a chance to compete in the state championships. There are 10 regional representatives. In past years, as many as two regions have not sent representatives leaving wild card openings for teams with the best statewide scores among runner-ups. More
