As a reminder, Middle School students and High School students will be given an assigned locker. This is where students can leave their book bags, phones, school materials, and other personal items. Please make sure that if you are in middle school or high school you bring a combination lock for your locker. Every student that utilizes a locker must put a lock on it for safety purposes during this school year. Students will be required to provide the locker combination to their teacher, in the case of an emergency administration may need to use the combination, if a combination is not provided our custodian may need to cut the lock.

On May 21, Columbus Arts & Tech Academy celebrated its Class of 2023 at a 9am graduation ceremony held at the High Life Studio in Columbus. All 10 seniors received their high school diplomas. Karen Marie Hewitt and Sirvell Allen spoke during the ceremony and Jairo Medina, the Class valedictorian, was honored for his accomplishments.
The future looks bright for Columbus Arts & Tech seniors who will be continuing on to two and four-year colleges, technical training programs, and the military following graduation. Principal Brewer offered his congratulations saying, “We’re very proud of our seniors for their hard work and dedication these past four years. We are confident that they have the academic ability, character, and life skills to be successful as they go on to college and career pursuits.”
The Local Wellness Policy is a written document that guides a local educational agency’s (LEA) or school district’s efforts to establish a school environment that promotes students’ health, well-being, and ability to learn. The Wellness Policy Committee has been created as an effort to manage and develop our school’s healthy habits.
» A Wellness Committee will be appointed to each school
» The committee may include parents and guardians, students, representatives of the school nutrition program, physical education teachers, or any other interested stakeholder that is aligned with the goals of the policy
» The committee shall meet a minimum of four times per year
This is a great opportunity to help promote and support student health and wellness, and create a positive, safe, and health-promoting learning environment. Please contact mealcounts@accelschools.com for more information.
