Hello Eagles!
Happy New Year and Welcome back to Columbia High School for spring semester 2025. I hope that you are well rested and ready to learn. I want to thank you for your support as your new principal and must say I have thoroughly enjoyed my new role. Honestly, there have been challenges, but I know that I am in the right place at the right time. There is no other school I would rather be than Columbia High School.
We made great academic progress in 2024, so now is not the time to slack off. We must keep flying to New Levels and New Heights in order to meet our goals for 2025. I look forward to seeing you in-person for the upcoming State of the School Address later this month. You will receive more information with the exact date and time soon.
