Dear MSD Community:
During the 2022-2023 academic year, MSD will celebrate Columbia Campus' 50th anniversary!
MSD has two campuses. Frederick Campus is now in its 153rd school year. Columbia Campus is now in its 48th school year. The land on which the Columbia Campus was built was once a horse sanctuary—land preservation for rescue horses—and it still embraces the natural environment and the animals who choose to make it their home.
Columbia Campus opened on September 5, 1973, with 15 students. Today, the Columbia Campus has an enrollment of over 150, serving students from birth to eighth grade in a proud, tight-knit community.
As the planning for this year-long event begins, we are proud to present to you the commemorative logo for this special milestone celebration.
Special thanks to Shannon Cooley, a Columbia Campus employee, for designing this beautiful logo.
Please continue to visit our new webpage at www.msd.edu/cc50/ for the latest announcements and updates. If you are interested in volunteering or with leading a committee, please contact us via email at [email protected].
We need you to be involved because we want to make this golden anniversary the biggest, the baddest, and the best celebration ever!
Best Regards,
Debbie Stokes Hill, '84
Michelle Smith-Ailstock, '81
