Congratulations to Calhoun High School’s Youth of the Month for February, Naomi Dixon!

Naomi is an outstanding student who exemplifies kindness, poise, and respect for others. A true role model, she continually challenges herself in the classroom and beyond. Naomi was a dedicated member of the Lady Jackets volleyball team for four years and currently participates in Work-Based Learning, gaining valuable real-world experience. She truly embodies what it means to be a Calhoun Yellow Jacket.

After graduation, Naomi plans to attend a four-year university and pursue a degree in Early Childhood Education. We’re excited to see the impact she will make in the lives of future learners!
