Recently, students at Calhoun Elementary School were captivated as guest speaker, Terry Allee, brought history to life, embodying the character impressions of both William T. Sherman and Aslan from The Chronicles of Narnia. With attention to detail, Mr. Alee painted a vivid picture of Sherman's strategies and commanding presence on the battlefield. The next day, Mr. Allee portrayed himself as Aslan, the wise and compassionate lion, from the novel. Through engaging storytelling and interactive dialogue, the speaker left a lasting impression on the students, sparking discussions about leadership, courage, and the complexities of characters. It was an enriching experience for all!

Community Update - Lockdown Explanation:
On Thursday, April 18, at approximately 2:20PM a local resident, adjacent to CPS/CES, was attempting to kill a snake in their own backyard using a firearm. The sound of gunfire caused obvious alarm, resulting in a school-wide lockdown. Calhoun Police, partnered with other local agencies, had a swift and immediate response to the event and are currently addressing the actions of the individual. At this time, the school is on a regular dismissal and there is no threat to student safety. We thank our school officials and local law enforcement for their constant support of our students.
Parents, we need your feedback! Please take 5-7 minutes to fill out our Parent Engagement Survey for each of your children at Calhoun City Schools. Your feedback is vital in helping us improve our educational plans and use resources more effectively for your child's success. Together, we can accomplish great things!
