EDITORIAL: On the heels of a lot of
bad publicity about the removal of its principal for not following his boss's
orders and then his reappointment only a few days later; Columbus
High School has scored one of the biggest academic honors any school can get.
Principal Marvin Crumbs
was quite proud to have his school along with the teachers
and students be named one of the Top 6 high schools in Georgia. With
it also went the first-ever for Columbus High, a Top 300 ranking in the entire
country.
US News and World report's
annual rankings measure thousands of schools ability to prepare students for
college readiness.
With a 97-percent graduation rate last year,
it's clear once again that Columbus High School is getting the job done as well
as any school in the country. Nicely
done.
