Student Resources
Welcome Lions!
At Columbus, we strive to provide our students with all of the tools they need to be successful. Student Resources houses links to educational websites to further students’ knowledge. These resources can teach students more about specific topics or provide them opportunities to test their current skills.
We strongly advise students to always ask a parent or guardian for permission before using the internet and to always use safe practices. Now start researching and expand your knowledge!
