Calhoun City Schools

Calhoun City Schools is working closely with local agencies to monitor the potential impact of Tropical Storm/Hurricane Helene, which has the potential to impact our area later this week. At this time, no schedule changes are anticipated; however, should that change and a delay, early dismissal, or closure be warranted, we will notify all parties through our communication channels. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to keep our students safe!
