School Leadership

Message from your Principal

Welcome to Dysart High School! 

Hello, my name is Samantha Centeno, and it is my honor to serve as the Principal of Dysart High School. Welcome to the home of the Demons—a place built on tradition, community, and a commitment to helping every student discover their strengths, pursue their passions, and achieve success. 

Since opening our doors in 1963, Dysart High School has been a cornerstone of this community. We honor the legacy of those who came before us while continuing to build a future where every Demon is known, valued, challenged, and supported. 

At Dysart, our mission drives everything we do: 

We ignite high levels of learning. 

We empower success for the future. 

We fuel the fire within every Demon! 

We believe learning is more than what happens inside a classroom. It is about discovering passions, building confidence, developing skills, and creating opportunities that prepare students for their future—whether that path leads to college, career, or service. 

Our vision is to serve our community as a model of excellence where authentic, real-world learning experiences turn passion into purpose. Through meaningful relationships, innovative instruction, and a commitment to excellence, we create opportunities for students to grow, lead, and make an impact. 

Our dedicated staff works each day to support every Demon academically, socially, and personally. From classrooms to athletics, activities, arts, and service opportunities, Dysart offers countless ways for students to get involved, find their place, and create memories that will last a lifetime. 

Thank you for choosing Dysart High School and becoming part of the Demon family. We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to igniting learning, fueling passion, and celebrating the success of every Demon. 

Go Demons!
