Columbus Alternative High School is a public high school located on the north side of Columbus, Ohio. It is a part of the Columbus City Schools district. The school is a magnet school for college-bound students in Columbus, with both AP and IB programs. While most Columbus City schools are assigned a neighborhood to whose residents they guarantee admission, places at CAHS are available exclusively through the district's school lottery.
Historically, CAHS has not fielded sports teams, and students have had the option to play sports at the schools in their home neighborhoods. As of 2009-2010, CAHS has an Ultimate Frisbee team that plays in the Central Ohio Ultimate League. CAHS also fields a nationally-rated chess team, as well as In The Know and Robotics teams.
The school is often referred to by its abbreviation, CAHS (pronounced "cause"). The school's mascot is Pegasus of Greek mythology.

“These were the sounds that issued from the wigwams of this country before Columbus was born; they have not yet died away; and, with remarkably few exceptions, the language of their forefathers is still copious enough for them. I felt that I stood, or rather lay, as near to the primitive man of America, that night, as any of its discoverers ever did.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“London, thou art of townes A per se.
Soveraign of cities, semeliest in sight,
Of high renoun, riches, and royaltie;
Of lordis, barons, and many goodly knyght;
Of most delectable lusty ladies bright;
Of famous prelatis in habitis clericall;
Of merchauntis full of substaunce and myght:
London, thou art the flour of Cities all”
