The Columbus Africentric School Pledge
|
|
|
|
|
Today I pledge to be
the best possible me.
No matter how good I am,
I know that I can become better.
|
Today I pledge to reach
new goals,
new challenges, and
new horizons.
|
Today I pledge to build
on the work of yesterday.
Which will lead me
into the rewards of tomorrow.
|
Today I pledge to listen
to the beat of my drummer.
Who leads me onward
in search of my dreams.
|
Today I pledge to feed
my mind: knowledge
my body: strength, and
my spirit: faith.
|
Today I pledge to believe in me!

Teaching from an Africentric perspective will allow opportunities for our students to learn about the rich legacy and cultural heritage of African history. In order to receive knowledge and wisdom from the teaching staff, however, our students must come prepared, focused, and ready to learn. Uniforms enhance pride and promote a sense of "oneness".
The school uniform must be work at all times!
