We are planning to meet with current 5th and 6th grade classes on Tuesday (3/23) and 7th grade on Thursday (3/25).

Attention Parents, Staff and Students: The Columbiana School District conducted a safety lock down drill today in conjunction with the Columbiana Police Department K-9 Units. Our buildings safety is priority one and our schools being drug free is part of that safety priority.

We will continue to work with our police department on a more regular basis this school year to keep our schools safe and drug free. Thank you and have a great rest of your week.
