Music

We discuss music education, all of the musical options available to students and how students who perform in a musical ensemble have shown high academic achievement.

Also, three Columbia High School students share their experiences from attending Legislative Lobby Day and advocating for education issues with New York State legislators, our staff profile features School Social Worker Tara Smades, the Goff Student Council is highlighted during the Student Activity Spotlight, and Mr. Simons promotes upcoming school events.
