As we approach American Education Week, which is the week prior to Thanksgiving, Columbia School District is celebrating our hard working teachers and staff members.

Jacob Politowicz is a science teacher at Columbia Central Jr – Sr. High School.  Mr. and Mrs. Liebau nominated Mr. Politowicz as an amazing teacher.  They said that, “Jacob brings kindness and care into his classroom on a daily basis.  He has dedicated so much time to his new classes.”

The Libeau’s commented that Mr. Politowicz has taught their daughter for the past three years.  They continued by saying that they are so thankful that she has had such a positive and strong role model in school.  They exclaimed that “she truly loves his class.”  As parents, the Libeau’s said that they know their daughter loves science because Mr. Politowicz has such a growth mindset and strives to create engaging activities.

Mr. Politowicz is in his fourth year teaching at Columbia and appreciates the learning environment at Columbia Central.  He said that, “Columbia is such a welcoming community!”  He continued by saying that, “I've gained friends and amazing coworkers. Administration and other teachers are always willing to go out of their way to help and are always there for other teachers and the students.”  Mr. Politowicz mentioned that he appreciated all of the “opportunities for me as a teacher to grow and perfect my craft, along with all of the opportunities for students to strive and achieve greatness!” He continued talking about teaching science and said, “I enjoy the opportunity to teach at multiple levels watching kids grow and mature over their years at CC.”

In addition to Columbia Central Jr. – Sr. High School students who appreciate Mr. Politowicz, his JV volleyball players have learned a lot about sportsmanship and grit from their coach.  Mr. Politowicz said, “I love to coach! It is an amazing chance to build strong relationships and see the students in a different light then school normally offers.”  

The caring teachers at Columbia are amazing and make a difference for all students. Columbia teachers nurture and educate our children for a successful future, by focusing on learning and relationships.  Our passionate teachers are dedicated top-notch educators and genuinely care about students.  Columbia School District continues to lead the way in Jackson County, from preschool and Early 5’s through high school and adult education; Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow.  Visit us at myeagles.org.
