Your hard work and passion made this year’s fair unforgettable.
Calhoun County Schools was notified of a water issue through the county system. We are aware of the situation and have been in contact with local authorities to address it. In the meantime, bottled water will be provided to all students and staff until the issue is fully resolved. Maintaining in-person instruction is important for our students’ learning, routines, and overall well-being, and we are taking all necessary steps to ensure a safe and supportive school environment. Thank you for your patience and continued support.
