Looking to the Future With a strategic plan that focuses on student achievement, community engagement, safety, exceptional facilities, and talent optimization, the Columbia County School District is well on its way to leading the nation in educational excellence. “We want to continue to work with each other, as well as the overall community, to make everyone in this county very proud of their school district,” emphasizes Superintendent Flynt. “This is not just one school, or the school district, or one person. It’s our overall community. And it’s not just about an aggregate of students, it’s about each student. If we don’t do what we need to for each and every student in this district, then we’re missing the bar. I think our community is going to help hold us to that standard.” PREFERRED VENDOR/ PARTNER n William H.
