We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The classes I took were ok, they were all AP or Honors, but their college readiness could be better. They don't really prepare you or help with the college application process and don't inform well on what you can major in and what your degree can help you do in the future. If I had known more before graduating high school my major would be different.

Calhoun High School has allowed me to be involved in many activities including sports and clubs. I believe Calhoun has prepared me with all the skills I need for college!

As a senior in this high school I have met many friends and some friends I would even consider family, now you won't be able to call them real family but you can trust them enough to know that they will always have you back. Most of the staff is friendly and nice enough to help you but there are some teachers that barely try at all or they will do the bare minimum to help a student.
