About Columbus Municipal School District

Welcome to the Columbus Municipal School District (CMSD) in Columbus, Mississippi.

Columbus is the birthplace of Tennessee Williams and is proud of being known as "The Friendly City." It is also the home of Columbus Air Force Base, an important pilot training center. Columbus is located in the northeast portion of Mississippi, near the Alabama state line.

Columbus Schools serve the people of the City of Columbus. The city schools are separate from the county school system. There are three (3) elementary schools, an intermediate school, a middle school, an award-winning technology center, and a comprehensive high school.

Monies for the operation of the school system are secured through a local school tax levy, state and federal funding, and competitive grants.

The system serves approximately 2,900 students. There are more than 550 teachers and support personnel. We are always looking for quality employees. There is no better place to learn.
