The Columbia School District has a long and successful tradition of serving the students of this community in southern Jackson County. Our supportive community has benefited our students by assisting us in providing a wide variety of academic choices and athletic opportunities. Test scores in Columbia are among the highest in the county. Our participation in the Jackson County Career Center gives our students an opportunity to leave high school with a career field and in some cases college credit. Many of our students graduate and move on to higher education, trade schools or enter military service.
We are proud of our students and their accomplishments both during school and as they become contributing members of our community. The renewal of the Columbia School District operating millage is on the November 6th ballot. While it is a small item on a very long ballot, it is important to our students and their educational opportunities. The operating is a non-homestead millage. It is paid by people who own vacation property or business property. This is not a new tax, but a renewal of an item which has been passed by our community in the past. The operating millage provides the Columbia School District with funds necessary to ensure the operation of our school district and to provide an appropriate learning environment for our children.
The Columbia School community has always been extremely supportive of our schools and our students, staff, board and administration appreciates all of the time and effort given to benefit our children. We are proud of the communities we serve and strive to bring excellence in education to our students.
