The CHS Basketball Booster Club would like to extend a welcome to all CHS Students, Alumni’s, Parents, Families, Business Partners and Surrounding Community. We are a school and community striving toward both academic and athletic excellence, with a high level of school spirit and involvement.
The CHS Basketball Booster Club is a volunteer group of interested adults, which supports all basketball activities within an environment that promotes leadership, team spirit, and sportsmanship, both in the classroom and at athletic events. We do this by providing financial support to the basketball teams that cannot be provided through normal school channels. Support is provided to the school for all eligible groups on an equitable basis, including all girls and boys teams, J.V. and Varsity alike.
Parental involvement is the key to establishing a tradition of successful support provided by the Basketball Booster Club. The CHS Basketball Booster Club is a good way to get involved with the CHS students, staff, and parents. In past years with strong parent and community support, we have been fortunate to assist Columbia High School physically and financially and we thank all those individuals who have donated their time, talent, and resources for our school.
We hope you will become an active member of the Boosters and will share in the support we offer to the basketball athletics program at Columbia High School. Become a member, and you will be in the “loop” of what is going on! Check out our upcoming web page, get on our e-mail list for updates, be a part of the action by volunteering to help out. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you will learn about the goings-on at CHS.
If your child is involved in basketball, you should become a member!
We meet on a monthly basis and each meeting lasts about one hour. For more information, please contact one of our officers who are always diligently working in the Concession stand.
Everyone can be a Booster. A Booster is simply an enthusiastic supporter of CHS sports programs. This support can be manifested in many ways -- by becoming a member of our Booster committees, by volunteering to work during sports events, by being a team parent or representative, through financial support, or by simply attending sports events to support our student-athletes. Please consider volunteering for any of our Booster Club activities, for concessions staff, for Fund raising activities throughout the year.
Thank you for your support.Camille K. Dykes

Columbia High is located on 2106 Columbia Drive in Decatur,
GA. The Head Coach Phil McCrary Ed.D has been there for 19
years. He is the longest tenured coach in County History. He is
assisted by three former players of his (Clint McCrary, Wallace
Corker, Mario Lemons) and a personal friend of his (Julian
Houston). Together, this coaching staff is like one big family. In
his 23 years at Columbia, his record is 487-175 (.736) averaging
19.3 wins per season. With this record he has the highest win
percentage in DeKalb County history, for a coach at one school.
He has the best playoff win percentage in county history also.
He has won 9 Region Titles and been Region Runner-up 8 times.
This past year we went 27-5 and won the schools third State
Championship, in basketball (he had been State Runner-Up 3
times before that). Along the way, the Eagles was runner up in
the Beachball Classic, in Myrtle Beach, SC, and averaged a point
differential of over 20 points per game. Although losing a couple
key seniors, we will return a strong nucleus of players led by
Tahj Shamsid-Deen ,Jarmal Reid, Chris Daniels, Jade McLendon
with the new additions; Algie Key, Damien Goodwin and Jhaustin
Thomas. This summer we will be participating in 3 summer
leagues around Atlanta, one being the NIKE Pro City Summer
League. We will also be attending the UGA team Camp. This
year’s schedule includes the Prime Time Shootout (Morgantown
,WV), Alaska Airline Classic (Anchorage, Alaska), and the Arby’s
Classic (Bristol, Tn.), just to name a few of the key events we will
be a part of. As we embark upon the season we would like to take
a moment and thank our administration, parents and supporters.

DR. PHILLIP C. MCCRARY, SR.
Head Coach: Varsity Boys Program Columbia High School, Decatur, Georgia
A native of Griffin, Georgia, Dr. McCrary played football and baseball at Griffin High School and Clark College where he received a BA in Mathematics. He later attended Atlanta University and the University of Sarasota where he received a MA and Ed.D. respectively. His coaching career started in 1980 as an assistant football coach at Columbia High School and later at Clark College. He taught mathematics and physical education at various schools including Clark College, where he was inducted into the Clark Atlanta Hall of Fame in 2000. In 1987 he became the boy’s basketball head coach at Columbia High School where he is also employed as a mathematics teacher.
Known for his strong defense and half court offense, he has attained a win-loss record of 487-175 (.736) during his 23 year head coaching career at Columbia. Six times in the 23-year history of Dr. McCrary at Columbia, his teams have played for all the marbles and came up short, first against Southside in 1990, then to Dougherty in 1997, as those Eagles teams finished 27-5 and in 2006 to Tucker and finished with a 31-2 record. The third , fifth and six
time proved to be a charm, as the saying goes, for his Eagles basketball program when it came to playing and winning the state championship to conclude a brilliant 32-1 2005-2006 , 30-3 , 2007-2008 and 27-5, 2009-2010 seasons. Other honors include 2005 Teacher of the Year; for 2006: DeKalb County Boys Coach of the Year by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution 1990, 2006, 2008 and 2010; Georgia Sports Writers Association Class AAAA Coach of the Year (1990, 2006, 2008and 2010 ) Georgia Athletic Coaches Association Class AAAA Coach of the Year, and 2006, 2010 Georgia Male High School Coach of the Year – Naismith Award.
During his 23 years of coaching at Columbia High School he has sent over 94 young men to Division 1 Universities. Most recently, Lance Storrs (Ga. Tech); Jeremy Price (UGA); Dante Harvey (Toledo); Travis Leslie (UGA); Darrius Morrow (East Carolina); Kenny Mitchell, Chris Grier (Charleston Southern); Johntavious Rucker, Sam Mike (Ga. Southern); Jordan Lemons (Grambling). Dr. McCrary and his wife of 27 years, Constance, have two adult sons, Marcus and Clint.
