Those involved in theater at Centennial High School as cast/crew/volunteer can earn points towards a Varsity Theater letter based on their participation in productions

The lettering criteria for Theater is set up to earn a letter based on a high level of participation and commitment. Unlike other activities, theater letters are not performance or skill-based, they are participation based. For Theater, the parameters of a high level of participation is defined by roughly a 60% participation level in the program, in the opportunities offered within the program. Our program is on the very lenient end of lettering requirements, as 60% is still MUCH lower than what is required in other activities in our school and in other schools.

We offer 5 programs to participate in and multiple opportunities to add additional points for additional participation. The level of responsibility for each opportunity is also factored into the points assigned.

Therefore a letter is automatic for participation in 3 or more of the programs in a school year. If a student participated in less than three, then we offer multiple opportunities outside of those programs to earn letter points. We also are open to offering points for participation in other unique ways that are submitted and proposed by the student, and created by the student.

Our lettering criteria and point assignment is representative of what is considered a high level of participation.

To receive a Varsity Letter, a student must have earned a total of 40 points or more for the year.
