{ ust a brief time ago Columbus East opened its doors to a community eager for educational innovation and variety along with a greater emphasis on individual instruction. During these fifteen years East fulfilled these worthy goals and gave the community much more. The list of accomplishments fea- tures state and national competi- tion for students and teachers. Despite the outstanding performances and record of achieve- ments, committees gathered to discuss the possibility of merging East with cross-town rival North. Although lip service was given to better educational activities, the unspoken words were about returning to glory days of some of Columbus’ sports teams. Few actions resulted from the recommendations other than more study was needed. Beyond the now common place issue of school consolidation , the East students continued to earn distinction for academic activities such as weathering a rainy homecoming game to applauding exceptional plays and musicals. Along with this, those in the East community made discoveries about growing up and simply getting along. All these decisions about studies and interests were often times tough. Fortunately, East offered the best choice for making a step in the right direction. Columbus, Indiana logo Opening I
