From the Principal
Dear Cardinal Family,
It has truly been an honor and an adventure to serve as the CHS principal this past year. I can't wait to see what the 2022-2023 school year has in store for us all! Columbus is a unique place with wonderful people, and I have been amazed at how this community always comes together to take care of one another. It gives me hope and reinforces the notion that nothing is impossible if we work together in accomplishing our goals. This year we are on a mission for knowledge, connection and endurance for students and staff. We can accomplish these things because we have Cardinal-Can-do-ism and we are always moving EVER UPWARD!
To keep you "in the know" for the upcoming school year, Mr. Rob Sherrard is still the counselor for 9th and 10th grade, and Ms. Kathe Balusek is the counselor for 11th and 12th grade. Ms. Sheila Prause and Ms. Brittani Rerich are our grade level assistant principals. Ms. Rerich also serves as our College and Career Readiness Coordinator. Safety is priority at CHS, so please read through the safety updates outlined in this publication. If you have any questions, please give us a call.
I will continue to publish the Cardinal Chronicles on approximately the 1st and 15th of the month. Look for all issues of the Cardinal Chronicles on Facebook, Twitter, and our school's website. I look forward to a fabulous school year and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share. Monthly Coffee with the Principal meetings will be held once a month beginning in September, so please join me! #EverUpwardCardinals
Best Regards,
