Colonial Heights Public Schools has published a new website. The new website features a fresh look and design, and an intuitive, user friendly Content Management System for posting website content and information. After exploring different options in order to find a cost effective solution, the school division utilized the services of Catapult K12, a company that works with many school districts. Our former website was a locally managed system that was fast and reliable, but its Cold Fusion driven nature limited design changes, and some management functions were cumbersome.
