Calhoun High School

Congratulations to our Red Ribbon Week Art Contest winners! 🧩🎨

This year’s theme, “Life is a Puzzle, Solve It Drug Free,” inspires us to make positive choices that build a brighter future.

The annual Art Poster Contest features the winning artwork on display and a family reception at the Harris Arts Center — celebrated by the Gordon County Chamber of Commerce and Mannington Mills, kicking off a week of community-wide events promoting a drug-free future.

We look forward to next week’s Red Ribbon Week dress-up days as we celebrate making healthy, drug-free choices together!
#RedRibbonWeek #OurHeartOurFuture

CHS students brought fire safety to life this week at the Calhoun-Gordon County Library’s "Noni’s Nook", where Mrs. Brown’s Early Childhood Education students and Mrs. Holcomb’s TAP (Teaching as a Profession) pathway students lead weekly story time as part of their hands-on learning experience.

In recognition of Fire Safety Month, they shared Pete the Fire Cat and invited special guests from the Calhoun Fire Department. Toddlers met local firefighters, explored the fire truck, and took home fire hats, while our students led a hands-on graham cracker fire truck activity.

A great day of learning, literacy, and community connection. Proud of these future educators for giving back and inspiring the next generation. 🐝🚒📚

Yesterday’s System Leadership Team meeting brought district leaders together to collaborate, plan, and learn. As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Mike Afdahl from Northwest GA RESA led an Incident Response Simulation with support from Director of Technology Shane Shelton, reinforcing the importance of digital safety and preparedness across all schools.

As technology continues to shape learning and communication, CCS remains committed to ensuring safety across all areas of learning, both on campus and online. Thank you to our leaders and staff for helping protect our students, schools, and community every day.
