Chronicling Over a Century of Cougar History
The Columbia High School Yearbook Club is more than a publication. It is a living record of over 120 years of student life, spirit, and community. Every generation leaves its mark, and this year’s team continues the legacy. From capturing campus moments to designing the pages that will be treasured for decades, members of the Yearbook Club shape how the story of CHS is told.
Students in the club gain hands-on experience in photography, writing, editing, and design, blending creativity with collaboration, technology, and leadership. Whether you are behind a camera, organizing layouts, or crafting the year’s theme, you will develop real-world communication and media skills that translate far beyond high school.
