Bring your voice, your vision, and your values to help reimagine what’s possible for our district.

Columbus City Schools Superintendent/CEO Dr. Angela Chapman opened the District’s Our Future, Our CCS workshop series on Oct. 27, 2025 at South High School, where she outlined her vision for the future of Columbus education.

“We are fighting for the future of our schools, our students, and our city, because I believe with my whole heart that every one of our CCS students have the power to be tomorrow’s leaders,” said Dr. Chapman. “These three public town hall meetings let us celebrate what we've accomplished together, to talk honestly about our challenges, and to reset our course for the future of Columbus City Schools.”

Dr. Chapman shared details of her vision to make sure the district is putting students first, despite budget reductions, to ensure every student can learn in a modern school environment while addressing the pressing need for facility and transportation realignment.

Dr. Chapman highlighted recent CCS achievements:

• 40 CCS schools earned three stars or higher on Ohio’s most recent report card
• 95% graduation rate for Career-Technical Education (CTE) students
• 22-point drop in chronic absenteeism over the past 5 years
