School Calendar

Columbia High School has published its 2026-27 Program of Studies to assist students and families with course selections for the upcoming year. Counselors will meet individually with students in February and March to complete course selection. Below is the schedule for each grade level to meet with counselors.

  • Juniors: February 9-13
  • Sophomores: February 23-27
  • Freshman: March 2-6
  • 8th Graders: February 9-13

It is important to consider the following points:

  • Core content teachers will recommend courses for core subjects based on students’ current performance.
    • Note: Core content recommendations may change depending on final performance in the class.
  • All students must register for a minimum of 5.5 credits each year. Students should come prepared with a list of electives they are interested in taking.
  • Career and Technical Education (CTE) opportunities are available for students entering their junior and senior years. Parents should receive information from Questar regarding these opportunities.
  • After completing course selection for each grade level, an email will be sent to families to review the selections. Please contact your counselor to make any desired changes.
  • The deadline to request course changes is July 1, 2026.
  • The deadline for making level changes is August 1, 2026.

To aid in planning for course selection, review the 2026-27 Program of Studies. Students are encouraged to bring the Planning Sheet to their course selection meeting.
