Hip, hip, hooray!
It's the one hundredth day!
Of learning and growing at school each day.
On Friday, February 27th, our students in grades K-3 celebrated the 100th day of school with a special dress-up day. Students arrived dressed as grandmas and grandpas, bringing creativity and humor to the occasion. Throughout the day, each classroom engaged in learning activities centered around the number 100, making the milestone both educational and memorable. #CPFA
We had an incredible afternoon yesterday celebrating some of our 8th graders as they committed to attending Columbus Performance High School East.
Research shows students who move regularly are more focused, less stressed, and better prepared to learn.
That’s why fitness is built into every day at Performance Academies.

At Performance High School, we don’t just focus on academics — we focus on the whole child.
Every day, our students participate in intentional character education lessons designed to help them grow into responsible, confident, and resilient young adults. We believe academic knowledge matters, but so do integrity, discipline, leadership, and strong decision-making skills.
Preparing students for life after high school means developing both strong minds and strong character. That’s the Performance standard.
