Columbia Senior High School

Posted October 21, 2009

The number of AP scholars increased this year to 109, which is impressive but not surprising. The teaching staff, always strong, has added some really inspired new teachers: many come from industry (chemistry, design, Wall Street) thus are able to connect what is happening in the classroom to real world solutions, and the kids love this. The administration, with the 'new' principal who has now been in place for two years, are running a school that is warm and calm, and at the same time has very well focused academic energy. A gem.

Columbia has changed greatly in the past 3-4 years, because when I started there it was very chaotic especially when a lot of freshman had study halls. But I have seen the change in the amount of people wandering the hall the now lack of distraction to enhance the educational learning experience. A lot of the honor and ap classes are not as diverse but there are plenty of educators that are willing to teach at the level, because the teachers care about what happens to there students. Coming into this community from a non-diverse to this one really opened my eyes to see how everyone is a very cohesive unit and involve everyone in intellectual conversation and sharing of ideas. At the moment the principal leadership is at average, but it should be raised because we have three great principals that kept well run school
