Options High School & Adult Education Graduation

 Keys, keys, keys.  We all have keys to various things; cars, the house, and the office. In education, the academic environment is one of the main keys to a successful experience for students.  The Columbia School District Class of 2022 has taken a key step towards a successful future by completing their high school requirements and graduating.  On Thursday, Columbia Options High School and Columbia Adult Education had 17 students graduate, and on Friday, Columbia Central High School had 86 seniors successfully graduate from high school. 

Columbia students were given the opportunity to work with their teacher mentors to improve their academic skills.  The teachers, administrators and staff members have developed a partnership with parents to benefit the students and set them on a pathway to success.  For Columbia students graduation is a time to reflect on their sacrifices and accomplishments, along with the confidence, enthusiasm, and focus for their future.

We are so thankful for our 2022 graduates.  They have given so much to the community and have left their imprints on the hearts and minds of their fellow students and teachers.  They have triumphed through adversity, first when they were sophomores and school shut down in March, then again as juniors they had the opportunity succeed online when schools were closed due to the pandemic.  Although they faced a great amount of adversity, but have continued being successful, earning many scholarships as they graduated from high school.  They have been a blessing to the Columbia School District and the Irish Hills area. 

Our graduates have benefited from a positive, caring, and nurturing learning environment.  Our fabulous teachers have given our graduates the key to a successful future.  Please join me in congratulating the Class of 2022!  For more information about Columbia School District, email me at pamela.campbell@myeagles.org or call 5175926641.
