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!

They also received a compost bin from Sonoraville High School students, which will be used to compost materials in the school gardens at the CPES Complex. We are grateful to CES Rota Kids and Angie Gravitt for their community service and for making a positive impact! #ServiceAboveSelf #CCSHeroes #Inspire #Empower

Again, students and staff should arrive two hours later than they would on a regular school day. Busses will operate on a two-hour delay.
UPDATE (1:50 pm): Calhoun Middle and High School are no longer in lockdown. The lockdown was initiated due to a threatening post on social media. The post was found to be dated from years prior; however, in an abundance of caution, local law enforcement searched areas of the facility and students were held in lockdown. Thank you to everyone for your support as we work to guarantee the safety of our children.
The campus of Calhoun Middle and High School is currently under a lockdown while police investigate a concerning social media posting. We will post as soon as the lockdown is lifted.
