Our Mission

In order to create school communities that are culturally responsive, inclusive, and that fulfill the Columbus City Schools mission, schools and classrooms must be places where adults and students have positive, healthy relationships, where students want to come every day, where they feel engaged and cared for, and where teachers and staff feel supported.     

Each student has access to the resources, opportunities, and supports they need to develop to their full academic and social-emotional potential. In order to prioritize student-centered practices, we must make the necessary system changes (policies, processes, and practices) to reduce and eliminate outcome predictability for any CCS student based on any social identity factors, including but not limited to race, sex, gender identity/expression, socio-economic status, ability, and any intersections thereof.
