Photo Gallery Jackie Smith, right, English teacher at Centennial, was chosen by not one but two of Centennial's top ten students, as the teacher who had impact on their educational career. The students are: Felippe Marcondes, above, and Stacey Welsh, below.

Each year FISD honors the top ten graduates at each high school with a luncheon where they are recognized for their accomplishments and they in turn recognize the teacher who had had the most impact on them in their career. This year’s event honored forty students and teachers.

The luncheon was held at The Fieldhouse USA in Frisco and was sponsored by Baylor Medical Center Frisco, Texans Credit Union, Sound Perfection, Eduphoria and Fieldhouse USA.  The luncheon was catered by Fifth Street Patio Cafe.
