As the 2024–2025 school year comes to a close, we celebrate a year filled with achievement, growth, and unforgettable memories across BCSC. From academic milestones and athletic accomplishments to artistic expression and community impact, our students and staff have made this a year to remember. One of the most meaningful moments each year is graduation, and we invite our families and community to join us in celebrating the Class of 2025. Live streams for each high school ceremony will be available on the BCSC YouTube channel: CSA New Tech, Columbus East, and Columbus North.

BCSC recently hosted a special event to publicly unveil the name and design of our 12th elementary school: Maple Grove Elementary. Held at Westside Community Church, the event welcomed over 250 community members who came to hear from students, district leaders, and design partners about the vision for this future-ready school. Maple Grove will open in the 2027–28 school year and is designed to create opportunities for all through innovative learning spaces and natural light-filled environments.

BCSC celebrated another major milestone in our Envision 2030 plan with a groundbreaking ceremony for a $50 million renovation at Northside Middle School. This multi-year project will modernize over 140,000 square feet of learning space, including updated classrooms, a new main office, science labs, a life skills suite, and a reimagined group instruction area in place of the former pool. Leaders, staff, students, and community members gathered to mark the occasion and share excitement for what’s ahead. Watch the video to see how this project will shape the future of learning at Northside.

BCSC recently broke ground on a $20 million renovation project at Smith Elementary School—an exciting step forward as part of our Envision 2030 facility improvements. The ceremony brought together students, staff, families, and community partners to celebrate the future of learning at Smith. Over the next two years, the school will see major upgrades designed to support 21st century education.
