The Columbus School District is a public K-12 education system serving the City of Columbus and ten surrounding townships across Columbia, Dodge, and Dane counties in South Central Wisconsin. Founded in 1877, the district operates in a regional area situated roughly 25 miles northeast of Madison, about 70 miles northwest of Milwaukee, and 30 miles southeast of Portage. It covers communities in Columbia County (Columbus, Hampden, Otsego, Fountain Prairie), Dodge County (Elba, Calamus, Portland, Lowell), and Dane County (Bristol, York) and is governed by a seven-member elected board. The district maintains a mid-sized staff to deliver elementary through secondary education within this geographic area.
