October is National Principals Month, a time to recognize and honor the incredible leadership and dedication of principals across the nation. This month celebrates the vital role they play in shaping positive school cultures, supporting teachers, and ensuring student success — academically, socially, and emotionally.

Before this month comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank our amazing principals for all you do to support our students, staff, and community. Your hard work, compassion, and leadership make a lasting difference in every classroom and every heart. ❤️💛

A special shoutout to our outstanding Principals:
-Elizabeth Landis – Columbia High School / Middle School Hill Campus
-Danielle Eshleman – Columbia Middle School Taylor Campus
-Trudi Smith – Park Elementary School

We are so grateful for your vision, commitment, and care. You make the Columbia Borough School District a better place for everyone!
