Schools will be closed on Monday, January 20th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There will be no school for students on Tuesday and Wednesday due to teacher workdays, except for CCCA, which will remain on its regular schedule. We are also closely monitoring the weather for any potential issues that may affect this week’s schedule.

Due to potential weather-related issues on the western end of Columbus County, all schools will dismiss early at 2 PM today. This decision ensures that buses have adequate time to complete their routes safely before conditions potentially deteriorate. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the well-being of our students and staff.

Columbus County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay on Thursday, January 9th for students, faculty, and staff due to a cold weather advisory and wind chills expected to be in the low teens.
