Centerpoint High School

We are excited about the future of our Centerpoint Lady Knights and Knights Soccer program!

Coach Jesus Vazquez is officially joining our staff after serving as an intern last year and helping guide the Lady Knights to a Conference Championship and State Quarterfinal appearance. We are thrilled to have him stepping into the role of Head Coach for our Knights Soccer Team. A former standout player at Gurdon and a recent graduate of Henderson State University, Coach Vazquez brings a high level of energy, passion, and soccer knowledge that will help continue moving our guys' program forward. His enthusiasm for the game and commitment to developing student-athletes make him a tremendous addition to our coaching staff. Coach Vazquez will also teach in our High School ALE program.

Coach Ward Menzies will continue serving as the Head Coach of our Lady Knights Soccer Team, and we are excited to add Ben Kelley as Assistant Coach. Coach Kelley, a Ouachita Baptist University graduate, played high school soccer for the Little Rock Christian Warriors and has quickly become a valued member of the CHS family as a mathematics teacher. He brings a wealth of soccer knowledge, contagious enthusiasm, and a heart for mentoring students. We are confident that his leadership and passion for the game will have a tremendous impact on our Lady Knights program for years to come.

The future is bright for Lady Knights and Knights Soccer, and we can’t wait to see what lies ahead! ⚽️💜💛

¡Estamos emocionados por el futuro de nuestros programas de fútbol soccer de las Lady Knights y los Knights de Centerpoint!
El entrenador Jesús Vázquez se une oficialmente a nuestro personal después de haber servido como practicante el año pasado y de ayudar a guiar a las Lady Knights a un Campeonato de Conferencia y una aparición en los Cuartos de Final Estatales. Estamos muy contentos de que asuma el puesto de Entrenador Principal de nuestro equipo de soccer masculino, los Knights. Ex Jugador destacado de Gurdon y recién graduado de Henderson State University, el entrenador Vázquez aporta un alto nivel de energía, pasión y conocimiento del fútbol que ayudará a seguir impulsando nuestro programa varonil. Su entusiasmo por el deporte y su compromiso con el desarrollo de nuestros estudiantes-atletas lo convierten en una valiosa incorporación a nuestro cuerpo técnico. Además, el entrenador Vázquez también enseñará en nuestro programa ALE de la escuela secundaria.

El entrenador Ward Menzies continuará como Entrenador Principal de nuestro equipo femenil, las Lady Knights, y nos entusiasma incorporar a Ben Kelley como Entrenador Asistente. El entrenador Kelley, graduado de Ouachita Baptist University, jugó fútbol soccer en la preparatoria con los Little Rock Christian Warriors y rápidamente se ha convertido en un miembro muy apreciado de la familia CHS como maestro de matemáticas. Aporta una gran experiencia en el fútbol, un entusiasmo contagioso y una verdadera vocación para orientar y apoyar a los estudiantes. Estamos seguros de que su liderazgo y pasión por este deporte tendrán un impacto extraordinario en nuestro programa de las Lady Knights durante muchos años.
¡El futuro es muy prometedor para los programas de soccer de las Lady Knights y los Knights, y estamos ansiosos por ver todo lo que está por venir! ⚽️💜💛

Congratulations to Coach Roberson, Jareth Medina, and Lilie Hernandez on being selected to the West All-Star Team for soccer! We are very proud of you! Unfortunately, AAA no longer sponsors All-Star Games, so there won't be an official All-Star Game this year. However, this is still a tremendous honor and recognition of a great season.

¡Felicitaciones al entrenador Roberson, Jareth Medina y Lilie Hernandez por haber sido seleccionados para el Equipo All-Star del Oeste de fútbol! ¡Estamos muy orgullosos de ustedes! Desafortunadamente, la AAA ya no patrocina los Juegos All-Star, por lo que no habrá un Juego All-Star oficial este año. Sin embargo, este sigue siendo un gran honor y un reconocimiento a una excelente temporada.

Please help us welcome Mr. Matt Shirey to the CHS Family! Mr. Shirey will be our new Assistant Band and Choir Director!

Please help us welcome Mrs. LaDonna Ashbrooks to the CHS Family! Mrs. Ashbrooks will be teaching in our Literacy Department. She also happens to be Mrs. White's mother!

Happy Retirement to Mrs. Tonya Harrison! Thank you for your years of service to our district. You are highly respected, dearly loved, and will be greatly missed. We wish you all the best. Once a Knight, always a Knight!

And just like that, the 2025–2026 school year has come to a close.

I want to sincerely thank our staff, students, families, and community for making this such an incredible year. I truly have the best job in the world because we have the BEST staff and students at CHS!

To those moving on—whether you’re graduating, retiring, or heading to a new chapter—please know you will ALWAYS be a Centerpoint Knight. You’ll be missed, but you will always be a part of the CHS family. Come back and visit anytime!

For those returning, enjoy a well-deserved summer. I’m already looking forward to what we’ll accomplish together in the 2026–2027 school year!
