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!

Many, many scholarships ($884,055 for the first year of college alone), students entering the military, the workforce, students continuing their athletic and academic careers.....you name it!
    Celebrations continue next week when the seniors walk through the elementary schools, have graduation practice, and finally, the big event......GRADUATION on Sunday, May 18th!
