- Columbus North High School was originally known as Columbus Senior High School. It was renamed to Columbus North High School in 1972 upon the founding of Columbus East High School.
- Athletics
-
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. Additionally, their cross country program, led by key runners such as Ben Milroy, finished in the top 5 in Indiana for 5 consecutive years and finished in the top 5 nationally in 2002 (third) and 2003 (fifth). Columbus North Men's Golf has also dominated Indiana high school sports as of late, finishing 3rd in the state in 2003, 4th in the state in 2004, 12th in the state in 2005 and 2nd in the state in 2006. Tyler Duncan, a North golfer, also claimed an individual state championship in 2007.
- Columbus has been home to many championship teams throughout the years. Most notably its men's Gymnastics teams from 1968 and onward which dominated the state championship until the IHSAA decided that there weren't enough schools participating due to the high cost of fielding teams, and so no longer held a state championship. The dominance of the Columbus teams was primarily due to the coaching of John Hinds, who used coaching techniques considered revolutionary for the time, such as video taping his team and critiquing performances. When he asked for money to buy a portable video recorder the school board balked, so he bought one with his own money. That year he won the first of many championships after which the school told him he could go ahead and buy one. Many gymnasts coached by Hinds went on to national collegiate teams and Olympic teams as well.
- CSHS was also home to many great basketball teams coached by Bill Stearman, in the late 1960s finishing as high as the semi-state championships.
- Columbus Senior High School built a very large gymnasium in the late 1950s/early '60s that was the pride of the town. However the funding was rather controversial at the time since nearly everyone working in town had their paychecks deducted directly for involuntary "contributions". This gymnasium was renovated over the summer of 2009.
- Columbus High was also home to legendary Chuck Taylor. Chuck Taylor is Famous for inventing and making the Chuck Taylor Basketball Converse shoe. Though these shoes are rarely seen on ball courts anymore, they have become a popular trend among teens and twenty-somethings.
- Bands
-
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 marched in the Fiesta Bowl parade in December of 2006, and took the Fiesta Bowl Band Championship title, scoring in first place.
