Principal's Message

Dear Raider Families,
 
Welcome to Columbia Middle School, where every day is a chance to grow, lead, and shine! I’m honored to serve a school community filled with incredible students who show us daily what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and Ready.
 
Our commitment to excellence starts with strong partnerships between home and school. Together, we create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
 
Thank you to our families for your trust, encouragement, and involvement. Students, keep believing in yourselves, working hard, and lifting each other up, because Raiders rise to every challenge with pride and purpose!
 
Let’s make this school year one of growth, joy, and success.
 
With Raider Pride,
 
Holly Barnes
