Insert your install CD and boot into rescue mode. There your HD will be mounted and you should be able to copy the kernel back to the HD from the CD. Or if you have already upgraded the system using YUM then look in YUM's cache dir and see if the file is still there and you should be able to use the RPM command to reinstall the kernel.

I am an intern at some start up company and the server was setup before I got there and the owner has no knowledge of where the installation disk are.

Do you know which version of CentOS they were running? If so, then you can download the liveCD for that version from centos.org, burn it to disc, boot that, and run the recovery option. Just be sure to backup the system disc to an external drive before you do the reinstall/recovery thing.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
