It was a great first day back at Columbia Options High School!
Tonight the Columbia School Board considered a suggestion from the administration to join some other districts in Jackson County by attending school for half days this week. The superintendent and a representative of the Columbia Education Association, agreed to alter the school calendar by scheduling half days on Thursday and Friday, in addition to our traditional Wednesday half day. Not only will this address the affects of the heat on children wearing masks while riding busses, it will give our teachers an opportunity to review and reflect their first days of school.
You might qualify for free or reduced lunch! Go online to lunchapp.com to complete the form today. The process is easier, shorter and has a faster response time! We would like to avoid handling paper copies due to the spread of Covid-19. If you do not have access to the Internet, please feel free to turn in a paper copy. We are looking forward to seeing your students smiling faces!
Please click on the link below for detailed information regarding the 3 COHS Return to Learn options. As always, COHS will be offering In-person learning, a Blended Schedule option, as well as 100% virtual.

NOW ENROLLING!! If you know a student who could benefit from a non-traditional high school educational setting, consider Columbia Options HS. Our highly qualified teaching staff offers a wide variety of options and flexible schedules to meet the needs of each student. We offer full day in-person instruction, blended instruction (partial in-person/partial at-home), and 100% virtual instruction.
We pride ourselves on providing an excellent education within a small, family-like setting in a safe environment.
