About Our School....

Calhoun Academy was chartered and founded in 1968 on Highway 8 West in Calhoun County for the purpose of providing Excellence in Education. The Founders felt that it is the responsibility of the school to provide maximum growth in the field of education and duty bound to include the moral and cultural education of its students. Calhoun Academy's responsibility to each student is to motivate by challenging the mind, curiosity, and creative ability to their fullest potential.

A high-quality education is one of the most important things that we can provide a child. Exposure to a variety of topics, people, and adventures all contribute to a fulfilling school experience.

The objective of Calhoun Academy, at its establishment as is today, is to lead students to develop skill and knowledge in the Arts and Sciences of Civilization and to an understanding of their privileges and responsibilities in relation to their state, their nation, and their God.

Calhoun Academy serves the citizens of Calhoun, Chickasaw, Webster, and Yalobusha counties in Mississippi through a comprehensive program of instruction, student's services and activities. The following goals provide guidance for administrative decisions and give direction to all units of the school for planning, implementing, and evaluating activities.

1. To employ and retain a qualified and competent faculty and staff who are dedicated to teaching and service.
2. To teach quality academic courses which ensure successful college preparation.
3. To provide student services which assist individuals in goal selection, decision-making, establishment of values, and development of attitudes of responsibility and cooperation.
4. To sponsor services which include sports as well as those social, extra-curricular, civic, and cultural activities that develop leadership, creative skills, and personal growth.

We have an experienced and dedicated group of teachers and administrators. Each teacher strives to create a supportive and challenging classroom atmosphere to encourage students to participate.
