First Day of School

  • Leaders Grown Here!Our Back to School Hub is designed to provide families with all the essential information they need to navigate the new school year at Columbus City Schools (CCS). Whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, the Hub offers a comprehensive guide to help you get started. You’ll find details on enrollment, school start dates, supply lists, transportation options, and more. 

     

    LEADERS GROWN HERE!

    This year's theme, "Leaders Grown Here," reflects everything we believe in here at CCS. From the first day of school to the last, our students will be encouraged to lead with confidence, kindness, and a sense of curiosity. At CCS, we believe every child has greatness within, and with your support, we can help them bring it to life. It's here at CCS, that your child is becoming the leader they are meant to be.
