We couldn’t fit all the fun into just one post… so here’s Part 2! 🎉📸
Our HAES Panthers continued to shine as they learned, explored, and dreamed big during Career Day on Wheels. 🌟 From start to finish, it was a day full of engagement, inspiration, and excitement! 🐾
A big thank you again to everyone who helped create such a meaningful experience for our students. ❤️
We loved every moment—and we know our students did too! 😊

Students have been busy all day preparing and are ready to showcase their incredible talents in band, chorus, dance, theatre, visual arts, poetry, and piano through performances and exhibits you won’t want to miss.














Monday, March 16, will be an optional teacher workday for all schools except Columbus Career & College Academy (CCCA). There will be no school for students.
Due to expected inclement weather tomorrow, CCCA will operate on a remote instruction schedule.
There will be no afternoon or evening activities at any school tomorrow due to the weather.

As part of our March Madness Challenge, this week, students turned learning time into MOVEMENT time—combining rigorous thinking with relay races, partner games, math manipulatives and lots of smiles as they showed what they know. Thank you to our teachers for designing engaging, standards-based activities that get bodies AND brains moving, and to our students for giving their best effort on every play. Columbus County Schools is all in on making learning active, joyful, and challenging—on and off the court! Check out the video: https://youtu.be/3WZen5ASBW0

Completed consent forms must be returned to your child’s school by March 31, 2026.
