Hello Eagles!
We had an amazing week at Columbia HS from several of our students participating in the DCSD Inaugural Military Ceremony for those who have committed to serve in our Armed Forces after graduation to Prom Noir Elegance. Speaking of the prom—it was an EXPERIENCE! Our students looked amazing and we had a great time.
With only 24 more days of school left to go, so please keep your child's focus on finishing up EAGLE STRONG by passing all classes and doing well on our state tests. Although the last month of school is filled with tons of celebratory activities, teaching and learning will always be our main focus.
GA Milestones EOC Testing begins this week. Please ensure that your student is prepared by studying, getting a good night's sleep, eating a healthy breakfast, and bringing their fully charged Chromebook for testing. We will provide Chromebooks to students who have not been issued one for testing only.
