Welcome to the Columbia High School Freshman Academy: Cougar Pride Starts Here.

The Freshman Academy is designed to support students as they transition from middle school to high school. Our goal is to provide ninth graders with the tools, resources, and connections they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. By creating a smaller, more personalized learning community, we help students build confidence, develop essential skills, and feel connected to their school.

💡 Whether it’s through our orientation program, academic supports, extracurricular activities, or a dedicated counseling team, we are here every step of the way to ensure a smooth and successful freshman year.
