Wednesday, Dec. 18th for CHS Football State Championship
We are thrilled to announce that our Calhoun Yellow Jackets High School Football Team will be playing for the state championship on Wednesday, December 18th at 4:00 p.m. at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta! To support our team, this day will be treated as a field trip day for both our students and staff.
Given the high demand for transportation—requiring over 14 buses—along with expected attendance from students, teachers, parents, and community members, it's been determined that we must close school on Wednesday, December 18th, 2024. We encourage everyone to join us in cheering on our Jackets in Atlanta!
Need childcare? Jacket Jamboree will be available from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. that day for $25 per child. Click here to register online.
Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our students. See you at the Benz—Go Jackets!
