Today, we ask our Falcon Family to remember the life and impact of former CMSD Superintendent Dr. Cherie Labat. It would be impossible to list all the contributions Dr. Labat made to the Columbus Municipal School District during her four years, but we will try.
During her CMSD tenure, she supported the Teacher Incentive Pay Program, initiated the “We Build it Better” aviation program, implemented coding curriculum throughout the district, navigated CMSD through the uncertainty of COVID-19, secured FEMA and MEMA funds to repair the Hunt Campus, and increased our accountability rating for the first time in more than a decade.
Dr. Labat fully immersed herself in the community by hosting engagement meetings with the Columbus Housing Authority and spearheading the Adopt-A-Block program in East Columbus.
Today we want to remember Dr. Labat and all her accomplishments that helped move this district forward. May her memory be a blessing for all who knew her.

Everything we do is student-centered here at CMSD. We just held professional development for the use of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication Device). Through this training, we helped teachers, assistant teachers, speech pathologists, case managers, and even grandparents understand AAC devices and how we can communicate effectively with each student. #StudentCentered #ExcellenceDriven #FalconProud
