We’re proud to share that Superintendent Martinez has been invited to speak at the 2026 S.H.E. Influences event, joining women leaders who are making an impact across their fields.

Ms. Norma Martinez will share her perspective on leading with purpose, building trust and creating meaningful change through service. Her invitation reflects the experience, vision and student-centered leadership she brings to Centralia Elementary School District every day.

We’re proud to see her voice and expertise recognized beyond CESD and even prouder to have that leadership guiding our students, staff and families.

A little Disney magic made its way to Danbrook Elementary today.

Disney VoluntEARS surprised our Dolphins with a special on-campus experience. Students explored interactive activity zones, joined a dance party and even received a surprise visit from a very special mouse.

A huge thank you to Disney VoluntEARS for giving our students a core memory day!

Our CESD Leadership Team traded meetings for the warehouse as they rolled up their sleeves to sort, organize, and gather curriculum materials for our schools. From boxes to books, the team worked together to make sure our students and teachers have the learning materials they need for a great year ahead.
