Calhoun City Schools is not a system of schools, we are a school system; a family of educators and children housed across five schools on three campuses.  The Junior Jackets, PreK (a state funded early learning program), and Kindergarten are all located at the newest CCS facility, the Calhoun Early Learning Academy (CELA) on Barrett Road.  Calhoun Primary School comprised of 1st through 3rd grades and Calhoun Elementary School 4th through 6th grade are located at the Calhoun Educational Complex on Raymond King Drive.  The Complex educates more than 1800 students yearly.  Calhoun Middle School and Calhoun High School are located on River Street and are known as the Campus.  The Calhoun Online Learning Academy (COLA) supports students with a blended learning environment.  This innovative program is located at the STEMWorks Lab located at 606 Oothcalooga Street.  Calhoun City Schools is proud of the support given to us by our school board.  We have a five member team who seeks to do what’s best for boys and girls with every decision that is made.  Dr. Michele W. Taylor continues to serve as the system superintendent, and has done so since 2007.

Our diverse enrollment continues to rise.  Our 2025 enrollment is approximately 4,200 students.  Forty percent of our students are Hispanic, 8% black, 43% white, and approximately 8% of our students are multiracial, Asian or Native American.  Nineteen percent of our student population are non-resident students which conveys the message that we are a school system of choice.  Twelve percent of our students participate in special education programs and we are proud to share that our Special Education Department was recognized by the Georgia Department of Education as a leader in the state for their outstanding efforts to improve the performance of students with disabilities. The large influx of Hispanic immigrants to our area has naturally resulted in a large number of English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students.  Seventeen percent of our students participate in ESOL services and while these teachers are all exceptional, one was selected at Georgia’s ESOL Teacher of the Year.  Thirty-three percent of our students participate in EIP (Early Intervention Program) through mainly self contained delivery methods of instruction.
