Did you ever wonder what our teachers do on professional development days?? Lots of things to create a great school experience for students! Here is just ONE example of the many things our teachers did on Friday: The social studies department went on a tour through town with Chris Vera. The social studies team can now better inform their students on Columbia and its vast history as a stop on the Underground Railroad, Wrights Ferry Mansion, and the historic Markethouse.

This past Tuesday we held an Application Day that featured instant decisions from Washington and Jefferson College, Pennsylvania College of Technology, York College, and Kutztown University. All of our students that signed up for instant decisions were accepted ON THE SPOT! Along with this, Pennsylvania College of Art and Design and Messiah College offered information sessions and answered student’s questions.

Mrs. Hilton's English 2 students are learning about holidays and traditions around the world. First stop? Mexico for el Día de los Muertos!

Last week, our seniors came together at dawn, watching the sunrise to kick off their final year with excitement and smiles! A big thank you to Mr. Farber and Mr. Mathias for making this special event possible! 🌄😎🏫

Even the sky stood with the Tide to show support for breast cancer awareness. In October we wear pink!

Proud to stand together on Pink Out Day! 💖

Today, Mr. Blair’s local history students had the opportunity to explore an 18th century home at Historic Rock Ford! They discussed colonial and revolutionary themes while getting a real view of life in the 1700s.

Fire Fridays at CHS are never something to miss! For this experiment, Mr. Zettlemoyer's class trapped flammable gas from a spray bottle into bubbles from a mixture of water and dish soap. Students soaked their arms in water, then picked up the bubbles and held a lighter close. This heated up the gas and caused them to burn! The water in the bubbles and on the hands captures the heat.

Engineering with our heads instead of our minds in STEM Exploration! Students were tasked with building the sturdiest spaghetti tower, and this student certainly got creative!

Congratulations to Kayla Hess! She was awarded a Senator's Citation from Senator Aument for her disc golf accomplishments. Go Kayla, we are proud of you!

Students from the CHS marching band, football team, and cheerleading squad had a great time during the pep rally at Taylor Middle School this morning!

Hill Campus Students and Families - Picture Day is Monday!

Just some Hill Campus teachers dressed as Adam Sandler for today's Homecoming Spirit Day!

Today 8th graders from the Hill braved the rainy weather to visit Heritage Creek Farms in Mount Joy. They learned about seed distribution in pumpkins, kinetic energy in rope-making, and all about livestock feed. The chickens were a huge hit!

The past few days, Mr. Blair’s world history classes attempted to draft and model some of Leonardo Da Vinci’s inventions. These students are real Renaissance learners!
