Welcome to the Columbus Public Schools. We are a district focused on helping all students reach their full potentials academically, socially, emotionally, and as citizens.

Columbus takes great pride in the achievements of our students and is very pleased with the academic growth we see through the efforts of our students, staff, parents and community. The supportive community is the backbone of our schools. Their commitment to education can be seen in the beautiful school facilities and in the many partnerships they maintain with our schools.

The Columbus Public Schools are a great place to attend not just because of the academic training provided, but also because of the respectful and safe environment that exists in each of our schools. In the Columbus Schools, students grow and develop as part of a school family that support one another as learners and as friends. Children and parents feel welcomed and valued within each of the Columbus Public Schools.

Even as the poverty level and student needs have grown over the years, the Columbus Public Schools have maintained a high level of academic and co-curricular excellence.

The Columbus system is a great place for students to grow and develop under the watchful care of a committed staff and through the nurturing community in which they live.
