Attention Parents, Staff and Students: The Columbiana School District conducted a safety lock down drill today in conjunction with the Columbiana Police Department K-9 Units. Our buildings safety is priority one and our schools being drug free is part of that safety priority. Our Police Department has cleared our buildings, and we are back to the normal education schedule. We will continue to work with our police department on a more regular basis this school year to keep our schools safe and drug free. Thank you and have a great rest of your week.
