Mr. Beck's Student Advisory Council had an engaging discussion about reducing student absences. Students offered insight on why absences occur and what can be done to reduce absenteeism.




Join us for the 22nd Annual Columbus County Schools Dance Festival on November 21st at 7:00 PM at West Columbus High School. This exciting event will feature a variety of student-choreographed dance pieces from across the district.
Admission is FREE, so come out and support our talented student dancers!
We look forward to seeing you there!


In observance of Veterans Day, all schools will be closed on Monday, November 11th. This important day gives us the opportunity to reflect on and honor the brave men and women who have served in our nation's military.
As we enjoy this day of remembrance, let’s take a moment to thank a veteran, learn about their stories, and reflect on the freedoms we hold dear thanks to their service.


Graduation dates and times have been established for the Class of 2025!!

Congratulations to Chloe Batten a freshman at East Columbus who was recently named Teen Miss Columbus County Agriculture Fair Pageant 2024! We are SUPER proud of her.


Poetry, Chorus and Dance students did an amazing job at the Columbus County Fair's Arts Performance day!







We want to remind you that Monday, October 14, is Parent-Teacher Conference Day. This is a great chance for you to meet with your child’s teacher and talk about how your child is doing in school.
There will be no school for students on this day, so we can focus on these important meetings.
Conferences will be held from 11:30 AM to 7:00 PM, so you can pick a time that works best for you. You can choose to meet in person or online, whichever is easier for you.
During the conference, you will learn about your child’s strengths, areas where they can improve, and how we can work together to help them. To set up your conference, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
Thank you for supporting your child’s learning!


See all the amazing k-12 art at the fair!!
