School & Community Relations

Connecting Calhoun City Schools with Families, Partners, and Community

The mission of the School and Community Relations Department is to effectively communicate the vision of Calhoun City Schools—to inspire all students to become lifelong learners in the pursuit of excellence. This department works to highlight the outstanding accomplishments of our students, staff, and community through print publications, promotional materials, district and school websites, social media, email communications, and various media outlets.

We believe every student should have the opportunity to excel in academics, arts, and athletics—and that those achievements should be celebrated as part of our unwavering commitment to the Black and Gold standard of excellence.
