The mission of the Muscogee County School District History Committee is to assist in the vision to preserve and display historical artifacts of education in Muscogee County. This documented history will be exhibited in the Muscogee County School District "School House Museum" in which the story of public education in this community will be told for generations to come.
Welcome!
Muscogee County School District in Columbus, Georgia has created a history committee to gather information about the creation and development of our school district.
We would like to have community stakeholders contribute to our accumulation of knowledge about how MCSD has progressed since its beginning. Please contribute your memories by submitting them as comments. We will post your comments, so please visit us frequently to see how MCSD is remembered by all of us.

Goals
The suggested goals for the committee members for the MCSD History Committee for the School House Museum are as follows:
Review the history of public education in the Columbus community from the beginning of the settling of the community and the organization of the first schools in the community to the present time.
Study framed photographs, pictures, written documents, newspaper clippings, furniture, and artifacts to determine the significance of each item and make recommendations regarding the placement of specific items for display in the School House Museum.
Develop a timeline for committee activities.
Identify a chronology of events to tell the history of public education in the Columbus community.
Reflect on significant events that have had a major impact on public education in this community.
Design the display of artifacts for the School House Museum to tell the history of public education in the Columbus community.
Develop a plan so that the museum will be a lasting tribute to public education in the community, and so that events, documents, and artifacts in the future can be added to the exhibit in years to come.
Attend steering committee meetings and sub-committee meetings as scheduled.
