Weather Closings
We base our weather-related closings on the Columbus City Schools. We will be closed if the city schools are closed. Please tune into WCBI to check local weather closings. School closings may also be based on the recommendations of the Columbus Police Department, the Lowndes County Sheriff's Department, and the Mississippi Highway Patrol. The school will be closed if any of the three restrict travel to emergency vehicles only.
