Academics

Columbia High School operates on a 7-period, semester schedule. This schedule makes it possible for students to earn a total of 3.5 credits each semester, with a possible 7 credits in one academic year. The school district policy states that a student must meet all graduation requirements prior to graduation or they will not be allowed to walk in the graduation ceremony or attend the senior trip.
