On February 28, 2024, Columbus High School held its annual Perkins V Grant Advisory meeting. The purpose of this grant is collaboration among state, CHS and business/industry partners to develop and implement high-quality CTE programs. This helps to align CTE programs with local in-demand, high-growth and high wage career fields and expand the reach and scope of career guidance and academic counseling.
CHS currently offers the following career pathways and offers 28 certifications:
| Finance | Entrepreneurship | Marketing |
| Marketing | Early Childhood Education & Services | Architectural Design |
| Business Technology | Construction | Data Science |
| Engineering | Video Production | Manufacturing |
| Culinary Arts | TDL Technician | Health Sciences |
Thank you to all of the companies and organizations who came together to help us plan for the 2024-2025 school year.
