Empty Bowls 2025
Thank you to everyone who supported and attended our Empty Bowls/Soup for Shelter event at the Westerville Senior Center in December! This annual event benefits the Westerville Habitat Partnership and its 2027 walls build, when CA families and community members come together to build the walls of a Habitat for Humanity home for a local family in need. “It was exciting to see so many enthusiastic makers – including some alumni – back in the studio, and several Ceramics I students even bravely contributed their very first pieces,” stated ceramics teacher Charity White. “The growth and creativity this year was incredible to watch.” Also, shoutouts to faculty and staff members Christy Bening, Charity White, Suzanne Lucas and Bry Roberts, as well as our Service Board and bowl-a-thon participants, who all helped make this event a success!

Renovations to Schoedinger Theatre at Columbus Academy were completed in the fall of 2019 after the initial plan to update the facility was announced in September 2018 by Head of School Melissa Soderberg.
Schoedinger Theatre now features a balcony which helped increase overall seating capacity to around 550 (about 100 more seats than the original theatre), all new seats throughout, and improved lighting and sound, complete with acoustical panels.
The lobby outside of our Schoedinger Theatre was dedicated in honor of the late Susan Neal (teacher from 1994-2016) on January 29, 2022, prior to the middle school production of “Matilda the Musical Jr.”
