There are 3 large high schools in south Nampa: Nampa, Skyview, and Columbia. These 3 high schools are close enough to each other geographically that students are actually able to travel from one campus to another if needs be for different classes. Example: Nampa High School has a robust Vocational-Technical program; Skyview High provides education in Health Occupations; and Columbia has resources for students more interested in the Arts.
