Columbus Catholic Schools unites our four Catholic schools—Scotus Central Catholic, St. Anthony Elementary, St. Bonaventure Elementary, and St. Isidore Elementary—under a shared mission of faith and learning. By working together, we create a cohesive approach to Catholic education in Columbus, NE, increasing operational efficiencies to better sustain Catholic education and serve our students and families. Through this collaboration, we ensure that each school thrives, providing students with a high-quality, faith-centered education that prepares them for lifelong success.

Some opportunities I have been given as a student at Scotus are the ability to express my faith freely in school, and access to classes that prepare me for college. The faculty at Scotus all strive to make the transition to college and decision of a major stress free with the numerous of unique opportunities, as well.

I have received countless opportunities to better myself at Scotus through the teachers, academics, and other extracurriculars I am involved in. Through these, I have undertaken many leadership roles that will benefit me in the future as I go onto college and into the workforce. I know that I am speaking for everyone when I say that while you attend Scotus, there are high expectations for you. Teachers, coaches, and the administration all push you to be the very best version of yourself in every aspect of life. Because of Scotus, I was able to attend faith-related events such as Steubenville, JC Camp, Connected and GodTeens, which has changed my life for the better and gave me an appreciation for my faith that I would not have had otherwise.

I love St. Bonaventure because I get to learn about God and pray each day. I also get to make new friends!

I love St. Anthony's Elementary because the students and staff are all welcoming and friendly. The teachers also push us to do the best we can on projects and assignments. We also learn about Jesus and our faith every day and go to Mass on Fridays.
