This message is to alert you to a recent action taken by the PIAA Board of Directors. The Board on October 11, 2022 by unanimous action approved the creation of the PIAA Junior Officials Program.
This program will allow 16 and 17 year old students to officiate 7th through 9th grade (junior high and middle school) contests as long as they have met all the requirements of a registered PIAA official.
Those requirements can be found on our website at: Become a PIAA Official. Please see the link below:
http://www.piaa.org/officials/become/default.aspx
PIAA will be waiving the registration fees for any student belonging to this program.
Those interested should fill out the application form found here and forward to Kim Hill at khill@piaa.org
Junior officials will be provided a mentor by the chapter they join and will also be provided training by that same chapter.
Thank you in advance for your help with the recruitment of PIAA officials.

History has been made! Our Theatre Department accomplished something that hasn't been done in over 30 years. Because of their sheer efforts in their performances throughout the Fall season, they have been selected to perform at the 2022 PA State Thespian Conference at North Penn High School on Friday, December 2nd, and Saturday, December 3rd! Let's cheer them on as they represent Columbia proudly!


Let's congratulate the following students who were selected as a Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 5 All-Star: Dominic Diaz-Ellis (First-Team Offense), Aiden Miller (First-Team Defense), Demari Simms (Second-Team Offense), Stud Campbell (Second-Team Defense), Quincy Stewart (Second-Team Defense), Daejzon Giles (Honorable Mention), Chris Sabino (Honorable Mention), and Steven Rivas (Honorable Mention). #GoCrimsonTide


Habitat for Humanity has been working for years on a project that will bring four new Habitat homes to the Columbia Borough School District. The plan is finally turning into a reality! They hope to start digging foundations as soon as the ground thaws in 2023, with hopes of completing these new builds by the Fall of the same year. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for providing our students with the opportunity to join your site blessing and to assist the community with the site clean-up! #GoCrimsonTide
