Columbus Alternative High School (CAHS) changed my life forever. I entered CAHS in 2013 as a intercity student who never saw to much of a future for myself. Although, by the time I graduated CAHS in 2017 I expected nothing less than excellence from myself. They offer AP and IB classes to their students for free which allowed me to earn college credits right at my own high school. CAHS was constantly taking into consideration that there are students from all over the district and teaching on a very personalized basis. The teachers and administrators put learning first and do everything they can to help you achieve your goals including college application workshops. I have nothing negative to say about CAHS besides they need a new building because the current one is very old. Oh, and no sports! Unless you play ultimate frisbee!
CAHS prepares you for real life situations. Being a student at CAHS, you learn that excellence is displayed when your fullest self is present with others. Excellence is displayed when one decides that giving up isn’t an option. CAHS also provides an amazing support system that provide great wisdom and resources for any topic and issue that occurs.
My experience was like a yinyang symbol. There were some learning experiences and options that were good but also were bad in a sort of way which messed up some of my schedule. The other half where some things may seem bad it was actually very good and helpful to me. I’ve made a lot of choices with the opportunities they have given me and honestly I wouldn’t mind attending here again if I were to go back in time. I loved the teachers and the curriculums were challenging and nice to learn. Although there were some problems with the building, I think it was a good school overall.
