Thank you to everyone who joined us for Rising 9th Grade Family Night last week! We loved connecting with families as we shared all the exciting opportunities CHS offers—certifications, dual enrollment, CTAE pathways, and more.
Take a look at highlights from the evening as student leaders and instructors from Calhoun College & Career Academy connected with families to showcase CTAE pathways designed to prepare students for success in college, careers, and beyond. #CTAEdelivers #ProudToBeAYellowJacket
IMPORTANT UPDATE: SCHOOL CLOSED FOR TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2025 | After receiving updated information from Georgia Emergency Management officials, Calhoun City Schools has made the decision to close school on Tuesday, January 21, 2025. While current forecasts indicate that precipitation is expected to remain south of Gordon County, the possibility of a shift in the weather pattern, combined with freezing temperatures, poses a potentially unsafe travel situation as the day progresses. Georgia is currently under a State of Emergency.
We understand the challenges this decision may create for families, but student safety remains our top priority and is at the heart of every decision we make. Calhoun City Schools will continue to work closely with Georgia Emergency Management officials to monitor conditions throughout the day.
A decision regarding the potential closure or schedule changes for Wednesday, January 22, 2025, will be announced as soon as additional information becomes available. Additionally, we will assess weather and travel conditions on Tuesday (1/21) and provide an update regarding extracurricular activities planned for the afternoon and evening no later than 12:00 PM tomorrow.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the safety and well-being of our school community.
Stay warm, Jackets!
