Prioritizing School Safety | CHS Assistant Principals Franco Perkins and Misty Lewis recently attended the Georgia Homeland Security School Safety Conference in St. Simons Island, joining school leaders and safety personnel from across the state. The conference focused on proactive strategies to enhance school safety, covering legislative updates, substance and gang prevention, mental health awareness, and crisis and facility management. Representatives from GEMA, the Secret Service, and other state and federal agencies provided valuable insights. At Calhoun City Schools, student safety remains a top priority as we continue learning, planning, and collaborating to protect our Jacket family. Thank you, Mr. Perkins and Mrs. Lewis, for your leadership and commitment to school safety!
