Columbus Municipal School District


The Columbus Municipal School District is a public school district with its headquarters in Columbus, Mississippi.
The majority of the city limits of Columbus are in this district, as well as a portion of the New Hope census-designated place. The district also serves the children of the Columbus Air Force Base military personnel; the district is one of two options available for families living on-post. Most of the census-designated place "Columbus AFB" is physically within this district.
The Columbus Municipal School District is governed by a five-member school board. CMSD's mascot is the falcon. The district is also the home of the oldest public school in Mississippi, Franklin Academy, which was founded in 1821. The CMSD currently consists of approximately 4,100 students enrolled in grades Pre-K through grade 12.
