Welcome to Columbus Public Schools

At the conflux of the Stillwater and Yellowstone rivers in south-central Montana, you'll find the vibrant town of Columbus, home of the Cougars!

Columbus Public Schools provide a challenging, protective and rewarding educational experience for kindergarten through the twelfth grade students. Utilizing a low student-to-educator ratio, one-to-one computing, a statewide offering of courses and strong community support, our school is dedicated to propel each of our Cougars in their academic and life endeavors.

This website contains pertinent information about our schools from academics to extra-curricular activities. We invite you to browse and discover all we have to offer. If you can't find something in particular, please let us know. Thanks for visiting and Go Cougs!

Thank you to the Beartooth Stock Association for bringing local beef to our school.

Committed To Education

Our significant education goal is to foster a love for lifelong learning. By instilling a passion for knowledge, students are empowered to seek new information, explore diverse subjects, and engage in critical thinking.

Beyond academic achievements, education should prioritize the cultivation of essential life skills, including creativity, problem-solving, effective communication, teamwork, and resilience. These skills equip individuals with the necessary tools to thrive in various aspects of life, enabling them to tackle real-world challenges with confidence and adaptability.

Leading The Way
