It’s time to meet our New Bees! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting the newest members of our Jacket family!
🐝 NEW BEE SPOTLIGHT | Kim Adair
Kim returns to Calhoun City Schools, where she began her teaching career, joining CHS as an ESOL teacher.
With two children who graduated from CHS, Kim’s connection to the Jacket family runs deep. She’s excited to return in a new role and continue serving the community that means so much to her.
For Kim, education is about encouraging students, helping them reach their potential, and making a positive difference.
We’re excited to have Kim back home and ready to Be There for our Jackets!

Join us in welcoming Corporal Alex Kirby as the newest School Resource Officer for Calhoun City Schools!
A 2012 graduate of Calhoun High School, Corporal Kirby brings six years of law enforcement experience and is proud to serve the community that helped shape him. He and his wife, Coach Allie Kirby, a CHS teacher and Head Lady Jackets Softball Coach, are proud parents to 1-year-old Koen, who attends CELA's Junior Jacket Academy.
When asked what it means to return home, Alex shared:
"It means a lot to serve the community that gave me so much growing up. Coming back to Calhoun City Schools as an SRO is a full-circle moment."
As a proud member of Calhoun's 2011 State Championship football team, Alex says you'll probably hear about that accomplishment at least once. More importantly, he wants every student to know his door is always open if they need help, advice, or just someone to talk to.

Reading, learning, and summer fun! 📚☀️
Yesterday, our Jacket Jamboree campers helped kick off United Way of Gordon County's new summer program, United We Read, a literacy initiative that brings books, resources, and engaging learning experiences to families.
Campers enjoyed ice cream, story time, hands-on activities, a fire truck tour, and even selected a book to take home, along with other fun treats to keep the learning going all summer long.
Thank you to United Way and community partners for introducing this new program and supporting literacy throughout the summer!
