Columbia School District
Home of the Golden Eagles: Empowering Learners. Achieving Success.
Starting this upcoming school year, we are moving to a fully digital opt-in process for all student activities and clubs.
Students cannot participate in activities or clubs unless a parent or guardian checks the opt-in box and submits the required form online via PowerSchool. Lower elementary school families can obtain their PowerSchool access code/password from their teacher the first week of school.
📅 The Countdown is ON! 📅
Get ready, Golden Eagles! We are officially one week away from the first day of the 2026-2027 school year!

Let's make this an unforgettable year. We're ready for you!

Last night, our Columbia Board of Education and staff went claw-to-claw with Napoleon at the annual Great American Crab Races at the Eagle's Nest. While we unfortunately came up a little short and had to surrender the coveted Golden Crab to Napoleon for the year, the real win was the community turnout and funds raised for athletics at both Columbia and Napoleon School Districts as well as the Tom Collins Spirit Trail and Napoleon Lions Club! Fun was had by all!
Get Ready to Crab Race! 🦀Columbia Takes on Napoleon Tonight at 7:15 pm at the EAGLES NEST at Clark Lake. We need our incredible Eagle community to be there and cheer us on! Be there a few minutes early to help sing our fight song together and cheer on our racers!
