We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have had an fantastic time attending CCHS. I attend the ETA side of the school which is focused on presentations and collaboration. It has made me evolve tremendously as a presenter. I am now able to present with no nervousness and being able to look a audience in the eyes. I can also communicate with colleagues expertly because of ETA. Understanding it's just business and it shouldn't personal has made me less afraid of confrontation with my colleagues.

My experience at Columbia City High School has been pretty good so far. I have friends that go here and I feel welcome everyday I walk in. One of the best things Columbia City has is many career oriented classes. For me I really enjoy the classes that are offered for engineering. One bad thing I see is a lot of teachers just trying to assign busywork and not really teach the students.
