Our Legacy
There’s a saying by William Shakespeare that goes, “No legacy is so rich as honesty.”  And here at The Legacy, we believe just that.

Too often these days, the newspaper industry has been tainted with a deceit factor, and instead of it being a true report of what’s going on, it is a tabloid.  Our newspaper promises to relay the truth, and only the truth when talking about the legacy of our school, our town, and our people.

We believe legacy is culmination of factors: it is what people leave behind and the things that are changing.  It is a mark one leaves behind on their environment. And specifically for Columbia High School (CHS), it is what you leave behind or pass down, such as a tradition.  It could also be a mentality, attitude, or belief that is transmitted from one group of people to their successors. In our newspaper, we show these parts of CHS culture that have remained over time, whether it be the satire about freshmen and what we think about our building, or an opinion piece on one of CHS’s most prominent alumni, SZA.  These aspects contribute in their own way to the reputation of our school, and The Legacy is here to bring them to light.
