Columbia Academy - TN

Campus Update Series #4:
The outdoor pavilion on the Spring Hill playground will soon be covered by solar panels, as part of the TVA Grant we received. The solar panels will provide power for outdoor ceiling fans and outlets for outdoor sound system capabilities. These will also allow for data collection and monitoring for science classes to experiment with weather!

Campus Update Series #3:

Our soccer field is well on its way to featuring brand-new bench areas for our teams! The new concrete has been laid, and new benches are en route. To keep our athletes comfortable, this space will also include high-quality coverings to provide shade for both the home and away benches. ⚽️☀️

🎉 IT’S HAPPENING! 🎉

Mark your calendars and make plans to join us for an incredible, fun-filled family event! We are going all out this year to celebrate our country, and we want to share the excitement with YOU—our amazing families! ❤️🇺🇸

Stay tuned... we have so many exciting details about this special evening coming your way soon! 👀✨

Campus Update Series #2
The popular outdoor seating area right outside the cafeteria is getting an upgrade. The wall has been removed to allow us to expand it further in both directions, creating a more open space for students to gather, relax, and eat. All sidewalks surrounding this area will be refreshed with paint.

Campus Update Series #1!
You may have noticed some changes at the Anderson Field House! The Dawg House Campus Store is moving to a brand-new space at the front of the building for a much easier, more accessible shopping experience. 🛍️ This project is officially underway, and we expect a grand opening later this fall! Additionally, the left side of the field house is being built out to provide convenient, much-needed storage for our hard-working facilities team. 💪
