Proud to be a partner of Central Community College-Columbus!

Central Community College and Columbus Public Schools (CPS) have entered a partnership that will allow the Raiders to play home volleyball and basketball games at Columbus Middle School (CMS) for the 2026-27 season.

The temporary move is necessary as the Raider Fieldhouse undergoes a major renovation and expansion. The project will modernize the facility with improved athletic training spaces, enhanced accessibility, expanded community gathering areas and upgraded amenities.

"This partnership reflects the strong relationship between Central Community College and Columbus Public Schools," said Mary Young, CCC director of athletics. "We're grateful to CPS and I can't say enough about the collaboration of its staff in making this arrangement possible. We're thankful to keep our home games in Columbus during the Raider Fieldhouse renovation and are excited about what these improvements will mean for our student-athletes and the community."

As the former Columbus High School, CMS is adequately equipped to host collegiate volleyball and basketball contests. Additional information regarding game schedules, ticketing and game-day information will be shared by CCC athletics before each season begins.

CMS Track Closed August 11–17, 2026, for All Activities

Columbus Community Members,

The Columbus Middle School track will be closed for repairs and curing from Tuesday, August 11, 2026, through the end of the day on Monday, August 17, 2026.
This maintenance is essential to help ensure the longevity of the track. During this time, crews will be patching damaged areas and filling cracks throughout the track surface. It is important that the repair material has adequate time to cure properly. While the surface of the repair material may appear dry and feel firm, it will not be fully cured.

We appreciate your help by staying off the track during this closure. Your cooperation will help us maintain a safe, high-quality facility for students and our community to enjoy before and after school, as well as outside of school activity hours.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
