Welcome Back, Columbia High School Seniors!
Happy New Year! I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to 2025. As we
dive into this semester, I have some important updates and reminders for our seniors. May will
be here before we know it, so let’s stay on top of everything!
Senior Dues:
If your senior has not yet paid their $100 senior dues, please do so as soon as possible.
Payments should be made to Mrs. Markle, our bookkeeper, in the front office.
Senior Jerseys:
We’re doing senior jerseys instead of traditional t-shirts this year. The cost is $44. While
this may be higher than usual, it reflects our goal to provide high-quality jerseys.
Graduation Details:
Graduation Practice: Friday, May 23, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. at the
Von Braun Center (VBC).
Graduation Ceremony: Friday, May 23, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. CST, also at the
VBC.
We’ll also hold a practice here at Columbia beforehand to ensure everyone is prepared.
Outstanding Fees:
All fees must be paid in full prior to graduation. If fees remain unpaid, seniors will not be
able to participate in the ceremony. Please check with Mrs. Markle to confirm your
senior’s balance. Do not wait until the last minute to resolve this!
Support Staff:
Remember, you have a team here to support you:
Ms. Lane: Senior Sponsor (christen.lane@hsv-k12.org)
Mrs. Sutton: 12th Grade Counselor
Jade Chappell: Career Coach
Nancy Wolfe: College Counselor
Mrs. Sanderson: Graduation Coach
If your senior has appointments with any of these staff members, they should attend at their
assigned times.
Let’s make the most of this semester and finish strong! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with
any questions or concerns. and as always, Eagle up!
Ms. Lane, Senior Sponsor
