Today, we ask our Falcon Family to remember the life and impact of former CMSD Superintendent Dr. Cherie Labat. It would be impossible to list all the contributions Dr. Labat made to the Columbus Municipal School District during her four years, but we will try.
During her CMSD tenure, she supported the Teacher Incentive Pay Program, initiated the “We Build it Better” aviation program, implemented coding curriculum throughout the district, navigated CMSD through the uncertainty of COVID-19, secured FEMA and MEMA funds to repair the Hunt Campus, and increased our accountability rating for the first time in more than a decade.
Dr. Labat fully immersed herself in the community by hosting engagement meetings with the Columbus Housing Authority and spearheading the Adopt-A-Block program in East Columbus.
Today we want to remember Dr. Labat and all her accomplishments that helped move this district forward. May her memory be a blessing for all who knew her.
Weather Update: CMSD will be closed Friday Jan. 19 and will resume on Monday, Jan. 22.
Please see the statement from our Superintendent Dr. Stanley K. Ellis. The weather will continue to get worse this weekend; stay safe and warm.
The Columbus Municipal School District will be closed tomorrow, January 18, 2024. All school campuses and after school activies will be canceled for Thursday. Driving conditions are still hazardous and we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. We will make an announcement tomorrow regarding a decision for when classes will resume. Please be safe and stay warm!

Congratulations to some of our Columbus Middle School baseball players! Lyndon Abrams, Jordan Mixon, Jocques Lucious, Chase Colvin, Nasir Abrams, and Christian Jordan all competed in the "Rise 2 Greatness" combine this month. They worked with former Major League Baseball players, including Coach Kedrick Martin. This was an incredible learning experience; they were able to hone their athletic skills and even meet past and current MLB players.
The "Rise 2 Greatness" Combine Series is an invite-only, no-cost, combine event for athletes 8-17 years old. Thank you Rise 2 Greatness and congratulations to the CMS student-athletes!

Shout out to Lt. Morris from Columbus Air Force Base for coming to visit our Columbus Middle School students! Our CMS students are seeing real-world connections every day. Lt. Morris spoke to ELA students about the Barrington Irving reading.
Lt. Morris discussed the need for more pilots of color, how to obtain flight time to become a pilot, and college requirements. He explained the difference between commercial and military pilots. Lt. Morris, 26, graduated from Tuskegee University and encouraged students to think about attending an HBCU as well. Thank you Lt. Morris for answering our students' questions and being an amazing mentor and leader! #WeAreColumbus #TogetherWeFly #StudentCentered
CMS is the BEST!
Congratulations to our Columbus Middle School teacher of the year, Mrs. Brown! Thank you for all that you do!
VAPA Night was a HUGE success!
Stars shine bright at CMSD. We are thankful to all the parents and community members for attending our VAPA night performances. For those who came, they enjoyed performances from our theatre classes, choir, CMS band, CHS band, and an art gallery.
"The arts significantly boost student achievement, reduce discipline problems and increase the odds students will go on to graduate from college," former Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said.
Thank you for supporting our students and art education! #FalconProud #ArtEducation #Artsed
