Mission Statement: Columbus Catholic Schools are dedicated to excellence in Catholic education, founded in the love of Jesus Christ, and designed to instill in our students faith, knowledge, and a desire to serve others.
Open Campus: Open Campus Students are given extra privileges for good behavior, including the ability to go outside (not allowed to leave school grounds) and leave study hall. Students who have open campus meet the following criteria: only juniors and seniors; must maintain a set GPA (juniors 3.7, seniors 3.5); no detentions ; no tardies or unexcused absences. Students who have open campus will have a laminated open campus pass they must show prior to leaving their study halls. Please see the student handbook for more information.
PSAT: At Columbus we administer the PSAT test in the fall to all of our 11th graders. We also extend the opportunity to any 10th-grade students who wish to take the test (there will be a fee charged to 10th graders). The benefit is to give the students practice for when they take the ACT in the spring of junior year so that they can become more comfortable with the format, learn how to pace themselves in a timed test, and try to improve in areas that may need more attention. Their individual scores will not be shared with any colleges and are for their own self-awareness. Each student receives the PSAT Student Guide so they will know what to expect for the test. Each student can read through the content more thoroughly on his/her own time as well as take the practice test.
