If longevity indicates success, our Service Board is an extraordinarily powerful organization. Service Board has been around longer than most of Academy’s present teachers. It’s already past its 30th birthday and just as active in the school and community as ever before. “The Service Board has its roots in Student Council, says Service Board Director,…
A, C, V, P, S, Q. That’s all you need to do to write a paper these days. In mere seconds with a few keystrokes, your printer is cranking out the pages, and now you won’t have to miss Jersey Shore (if, of course, you actually watch that show). It’s really not all that difficult…
Amid the centennial celebration with fireworks, street vendors, parachutes, and general commotion last month, it was almost impossible to capture the full experience of the day. One thing most students did miss was the opportunity to meet Mr. Bo Dixon, who was the headmaster of the Columbus Academy from 1977-1987 and celebrated the school’s 75th…
After Winter Formal was cancelled last year due to controversy surrounded grinding, this year’s Homecoming was a source of much anticipation for both students and faculty alike. In retrospect, the hype was ultimately the most thrilling aspect of the event. The dance was well attended, there was dancing, and people seemed to be generally content.…
OSU’S in-state tuition costs for a year run just under $10,000 while the average cost for an incoming freshman’s textbooks is around $1500.

Outscoring their opponents 115 to 23, the Lady Vikes had a season to remember. The Lady Vikes worked vigorously this fall, honing their skills with tackles, nutmegs, rainbows, passes, and volleys. “We practiced like we played. And that’s hard,” says senior Jillian Adler. “We didn’t show any mercy towards one another at practice, but afterwards…
In little more than 15 years, the computer science program at Academy has grown from its humble beginnings into a resounding success. A lot of changes have been made to the curriculum. For starters, there wasn’t even a comp. sci. lab. “We were only scheduled to go to the computer lab one out of every…
Let me introduce you to a most important group at the Academy that you may not be aware of: the Social Justice and Sustainability Committee. SJSC, led by students Melanie Knopp’13, Andi Li’13, Sarah Poehlman’13, and faculty advisor, Mr. Kyle Tong, has spread awareness about humanitarian issues for a decade. Without flash or fanfare, SJSC…
Earlier in this fall’s sports season, Anne Horton achieved her 400th career win as a girls field hockey coach. This achievement makes Horton one of the most successful high school coaches in the state!
