Athletics Program

FLA High School Athletic Assoc. Logo

At Christopher Columbus High School, athletics are an integral part of learning and student life. Explorers are encouraged to excel and win, but the principles of self-discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship are the underlying goals of the Columbus athletic program.

A member of the Florida High School Athletic Association and the Greater Miami Athletic Conference, Columbus is the only private school in the state of Florida to compete at the 8A-7A level, which means that our Explorers play in the most competitive districts and have the greatest amount of exposure to college coaches recruiting student-athletes.

At Columbus, students also compete in non GMAC clubs such as Fishing and Scuba Diving. Intramural activities including dodgeball, soccer, flag football, and basketball provide friendly competition and fun among class year levels after school.

Awards

Columbus has been recognized as one of the top high school athletic programs in Florida and Miami-Dade County. The school won the Floyd E. Lay Sunshine Cup All-Sports Award—honoring the best boys’ athletic program in Florida (8A/9A)—in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025.

Additionally, Columbus earned the Miami Herald’s Boys’ Major Sports Award for large schools—recognizing the top boys’ athletic program in Miami-Dade County—in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.
