Columbia School District The Columbia School District will provide a safe and positive learning environment.

In the late 1960's the current school district was formed through the consolidation of the Brooklyn, Cement City and Clarklake schools systems. Today the Columbia School District provides educational services for more than 1,500 students and is a Class B school system. The Columbia School District believes that ALL students can learn and achieve mastery of essential skills. The district, to the extent it is financially able to provide physical and human resources required to meet these responsibilities, is dedicated to providing an environment that fosters self-esteem, self-motivation, and responsibility in our students. The district also believes that education is a cooperative effort between home, school and the community.

2,000 non-perishable food items
$200 in monetary donations for our local food pantry
Our CCHS Leadership students worked hard to organize the drive, showing us all what true leadership is about: serving others and making a positive impact right here at home.
Thank you to everyone who donated and supported this meaningful cause. We are so proud of our Golden Eagles!
