Columbus East High School

Happy New Year 2026 from the Columbus East Athletic Department As we turn the page to a new year, we want to pause and simply say thank you. To our student-athletes — you represent Columbus East with pride every day. Your effort, resilience, and commitment to each other define what it means to be an Olympian, long after the final whistle sounds. To our coaches — your leadership, patience, and belief in our athletes shape lives far beyond the field, court, mat, or pool. The hours you pour in do not go unnoticed. To our parents and families — thank you for the countless rides, the encouragement after tough losses, and the unwavering support that allows our athletes to chase big goals. And to our fans and community — your energy, loyalty, and orange-and-brown pride create an atmosphere that makes Columbus East a special place to compete. As we step into 2026, we do so with gratitude for the past and excitement for what’s ahead. New challenges, new memories, and new opportunities await — and we’re proud to face them together as one Olympian family. Here’s to a healthy, successful, and memorable New Year. Once an Olympian, always an Olympian. 🟠🔥
