Dear Columbia High School Parents, Families, and Scholars,
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year at Columbia High School! It is with great excitement, gratitude, and optimism that I welcome each of you back to another incredible year in "The Nest". Whether you are returning to Columbia or joining our Eagle Family for the very first time, know that you are a valued part of a school community that is committed to excellence and dedicated to helping every student succeed.
Last school year was one for the history books. Together, we achieved the highest state report card score in Columbia High School History! That accomplishment was not by chance-- it was the result of hard work, committed teachers, supportive families, determined students, and a community that believed in what Columbia High School could become. While we are proud of this milestone, we are even more excited about what lies ahead. We are not satisfied with where we are becausse we know our best days are still in front of us.
We are proud to celebrate even more incredible accomplishments that reflect the hard work, dedication, and Eagle pride across our school community:
Highest Number of AP Passing Scores in School History
More scholars than ever earned college credit through Advanced Placement!
Highest Attendance Rate in School History
Our Eagles show up, ready to learn and succeed-- everyday.
Highest Number of Dual Enrollment Credit Earned
Our scholars are getting a head start on their future and college careers!
Decreased Student Discipline By 51%
A safer, more focused learning environment for all-- because Eagles make great choices!
Highest State Report Card Score in School History
A testament to our commitment to excellence across the board!
These achievements are more than numbers-- they are a reflection of our culture, our commitment to excellence, and our belief in every Eagle.
Parents, your partnership is one of the greatest factors in your child's success. I encourage you to stay connected with our teachers, attend school events, monitor your child's progress and continue reinforcing the importance of education at home.
As your principal, I want you to know that I believe deeply in each of you. My commitment is to ensure that Columbia High School is a place where students are challenged academically, supported personally, celebrated often, and inspired daily.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children and for partnering with us as we continue "Creating Opportunities for Success". Together, we can build on our momentum, celebrate new achievements, and continue making Columbia High School a place of pride for our entire community.
Welcome back, Eagles! Let's make the 2026-2027 school year our best yet!
Where Eagles Soar!
Sincerely,
Dr. Lenoise Richey
Principal
Columbia High School
