Columbus North High School (CNHS) is one of two public high schools located in Columbus, Indiana. It is part of the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation (BCSC).The student body is reflective of the entire community and is 95% white and 5% African American, Asian or Hispanic. CNHS students on average score 3 percentage points above the state average on ISTEP exams (state-wide exams administered in the 10th grade).
CNHS is similar to its cross-town rival (Columbus East High School) in that both schools have fostered successful academic teams in recent years. It is an academically rigorous high school with a wide range of opportunities open to students. Many choose to enter college after graduating, but for those who wish to enter the work force immediately after high school, the C-4 program is available. This program connects students with the community and provides those who are interested with internships and job experience. A large percentage of college-bound seniors choose to attend in-state universities such as Indiana University or Purdue University, but some have also chosen to attend public and private universities out-of-state.
Columbus North has long had a superior athletic program. The school has dominated swimming in Indiana for a number of decades and frequently makes the state finals in competition, most recently winning the state championship in 2002. They are also currently one of the leading powers in both cross-country and track and field in the state, having won the cross country state title two out of the last three years in cross country. Additionally, they have finished in the top 5 in Indiana for 5 consecutive years and finished in the top 5 nationally in 2002 (third) and 2003 (fifth).
The Columbus North bands frequently represent the school in state finals competitions as well. The Sound of North Marching Band is one of the top bands in the state having qualified for and attended ISSMA state finals class A competition in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005. The band has also participated in Bands of America national competitions since 2005, having qualified for the Grand National Semi-Finals in 2005 and 2006. Additionally, the band marched in the 2004 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. The concert band has enjoyed similar success over the past decade, attending state finals competition in 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006. The band will be marching in the Fiesta Bowl parade in December of 2006.
When it was founded over a century ago, it was the only secondary education institution in Columbus, Indiana, and was then known as Columbus High School. The name change took place after the founding of Columbus East High School in 1972.
