Last night, our Columbia Board of Education and staff went claw-to-claw with Napoleon at the annual Great American Crab Races at the Eagle's Nest. While we unfortunately came up a little short and had to surrender the coveted Golden Crab to Napoleon for the year, the real win was the community turnout and funds raised for athletics at both Columbia and Napoleon School Districts as well as the Tom Collins Spirit Trail and Napoleon Lions Club! Fun was had by all!
Get Ready to Crab Race! 🦀Columbia Takes on Napoleon Tonight at 7:15 pm at the EAGLES NEST at Clark Lake. We need our incredible Eagle community to be there and cheer us on! Be there a few minutes early to help sing our fight song together and cheer on our racers!

Our 8th graders had an incredible opportunity to explore local college and career pathways, thanks to the College and Career Access Center (CCAC) and their Kids2College/Pathways2Professional tour.
