Columbus North High School has been an overall good experience. I've made many friends and relationships with students and teachers who show alot of love and support. The c4 program is what I enjoy most. The construction pathway and as well as the accounting pathway is what I'm currently enrolled in and offers a many opportunities if I choose to pursue a career following each of the skills and knowledge required.

At Columbus North Highschool I've had a good experience. I will admit that I've had tough times socially and academically in the past but now I've improved and so has my school, I now have teachers who are open to my questions and communication. I hope my nephew comes here when he's older because this school accepts who I am and I feel like he could thrive here with the many options for C4/ Career classes.

I am a choir and theater kid. I would personally like to see more funding for the show choirs. It would be a big help.

Mediocre school. Lots of bullying which is tolerated by faculty. I would never send another kid here!
