Words from Lex...

Together I believe that all students and teachers should have a safe, nurturing school that provides an education that will prepare students for their future.

At Columbia County Schools we seek to:

  • provide a safe, positive, efficient, and student driven learning environment
  • offer a world class educational opportunity for all students
  • be a positive influence on everyone that we come in contact with
  • develop world leaders of tomorrow 
  • every single day, every single student will get our best
in 2021 we are focusing on District wide accreditation, student safety, achievement and organizational efficiency.


WE MUST REFLECT EDUCATION AS A POSITIVE CAREER CHOICE FOR OUR STUDENTS!
