Welcome To Columbia Schools!

Welcome to Columbia Unit School District #4 where education is second to none!  CUSD#4 is located just minutes away from St. Louis and serves approximately 2100 students ranging from preschool through twelfth grade.  The district operates four school facilities:  Eagleview Elementary (Preschool through Grade 1), Parkview School (Grades 2-4), Columbia Middle School (Grades 5-8), and Columbia High School (Grades 9-12.)  The community of Columbia strives on high expectations and a rich tradition of excellence and “hometown” pride.

The school year is filled with high expectations for not only academic excellence, but also for maintaining high standards of character.  As your superintendent, I can assure you that I will lead the district toward reaching optimal levels of performance.  With parents, students, and teachers working together as a team, student success will soar.

It is our hope that this website provides a snapshot of the great things happening in our school district – from providing general information to celebrating our student and school accomplishments.   The community of Columbia truly “bleeds blue” and has always fully supported the school district in its pursuit for excellence and continual improvement.

Best wishes to a great school year!

    🌟 Friday Coffee with a Smile! 🌟
    Our Life Skills class has kicked off a new Friday tradition—serving coffee to our amazing staff! Not only does it give our students the opportunity to practice valuable skills, but it also brightens everyone’s day. The smiles on their faces are truly priceless. 😊
    It’s more than just coffee; it’s about connection, learning, and creating an inclusive environment where everyone thrives. ☕ #ourcmsstory 💙🦅💙

    There's just something special about Friday Night Lights!
    Seeing our student-athletes, student musicians, color guard, cheerleaders, and ROTC performing under the lights is a favorite of ours!

    **Stay gold, CMS!** 🌟
    Our field trip to see "The Outsiders" was a total hit! Students got to step into the world of Ponyboy, Johnny, and the gang — experiencing the drama, loyalty, and heart of this classic story on the big screen. From the rumble between the Greasers and the Socs to the powerful message about friendship and staying true to yourself, it was a day to remember. Everyone left the theater talking about their favorite scenes and quotes — and maybe even feeling a little more *golden* themselves.
    **Nothing gold can stay… but this field trip sure came close!** 🍿🎬
