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.

Welcome back to Jacket Nation, Corporal Kirby! #BeThere #GoJackets

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!
