Since I stepped on campus, every single teacher and counselor has been there to help me and allow me to grow, providing support with any difficulties I face, giving me advice for high school and college, and preparing me for the years to come.

Columbus is a great school that offers great athletics and education at the same time. i won two state championships while I was here and I am now going to attend Florida State University. You enjoy plating sports and winning and getting as great education. It is also growing; they are building new buildings every year and offering new sports and clubs as well. We have a college level weight room and our counselors prepare you for college in every way possible.

This school is a haven for bullies, it goes out of its way to protect bullies from punishment, especially if the bully is also an athlete. I was bullied constantly during my four years of hell at that school, even some of the teachers joined in on the bullying. When I complained to administrators I...
