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!

    This past weekend, Mr. Burch and some students from our Columbia High School Agriculture Program completed a real-life landscaping project in front of our District Administrative Offices.
    Through our Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Amanda Ganey, the students had to design, budget, and respond to customer requests for the landscaping project.
    Thanks to Mr. Burch, Ryder Corbin, Mikah Meinhardt, Lincoln Corbin, Sam Laue, and Kate Jackson for seeing this project through from start to finish!
