🍎✨ We're ALL IN for a new school year! ✨🍎

The Columbia School District officially kicked off the 2026–2027 school year by welcoming our faculty and staff back for our annual Back-to-School Convocation!

We were honored to hear from nationally recognized speaker and former educator Gian Paul Gonzales, whose inspiring message challenged us all to be "All In" for our students, our schools, and one another. Mr. Gonzales is best known for motivating the New York Giants during their remarkable Super Bowl XLVI championship run with his powerful message of being "All In."His powerful reminder that every interaction has the potential to change a life set the tone for an incredible year ahead.

Each staff member received an "All In" poker chip to serve as a daily reminder of our commitment to giving our very best in everything we do.

Together, we're ready to inspire, lead, and make a difference—because when Wildcats are All In, there's no limit to what we can accomplish!
