Welcome!
Dear Prospective Families & Students,
Let me be the first to welcome you to Christopher Columbus High School. We are glad you are interested in CCHS – it truly is a great place for your son to grow and mature. As you’ll come to discover, Columbus is more than just a place to learn; we are a brotherhood. The experiences learned here, prepare young men with the tools to be successful – not only at the collegiate level – but for the rest of their lives.
Often, prospective families ask me what makes Columbus different from other private schools and I always say there are three traditions that come to mind: the pursuit of academic excellence, the heritage of a Catholic education and the unique spirit and mission of the Marist Brothers. I have been blessed to experience this tradition and spirit first hand as graduate of the class of 2003, as a teacher for several years and now as the Director of Admissions.
Our goal is to provide a caring, challenging and spirited environment for young men to succeed, while preparing them for life after Columbus.
We encourage you to look through our website, research the vibrant academic and student life your son will encounter over the next four years and ask plenty of questions. May God bless you as you make this very important decision for your son.
Adelante! Go Explorers! #CPride
Sincerely,
Michael Marinelli
Admissions Director
