Future businessman and CES 6th grader, Camden Reynolds, wowed the CCS System Leadership team yesterday with his presentation of an RFID tracking system for car rider pickup! Following Camden’s impressive presentation, the team discussed key topics, including the launch of our 2025-2030 strategic planning process and upcoming community events for gathering input. In partnership with GLISI, we will host our first community listening session this evening, September 5, from 6-7:30 PM at the Calhoun Depot. Every five years, Calhoun City Schools embarks on a strategic planning process to ensure we continue fostering student success in all areas, supporting the whole child. Together with our community, we are committed to inspiring and empowering all students to reach their fullest potential. United We Stand. Together We Swarm! #proudtobeayellowjacket

Calhoun Elementary’s Principal, Hope Stephenson, recently visited our Youngest Jackets at the CELA to read to PreK students. She brought her furry companion, Jake, to meet the Brown Bears, Khaki Koalas, and Bronze Beavers classes, who have been learning about pets. The students were excited to engage and learn through this enjoyable experience. It was a great day filled with smiles and a wagging tail! 📚🐾 United We Stand.
