History

In late 1994, former Calhoun County High School teacher Dr. Corkin Cherubini made national headlines when, as district superintendent, he ended district practices the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights found to be racially biased, including tracking and segregated cheerleading squads.[2][3]

Student groups and organizations include 4-H, Beta Club, FBLA, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, FFA, literary club, Network of Trust, talent search, Upward Bound, YAK, and yearbook.
