Through a grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission, Calhoun Elementary students in grades K-5 experienced live art when Bright Star Touring Threatre presented "Heros of the Underground Railroad." Students listened as escaped slave Harriet Tubman talked about helping others escape to freedom and heard Henry "Box" Brown describe mailing himself in a wooden crate to abolitionists in Philadelphia, PA to escape slavery.

Calhoun 8th Grade Fundraiser
We’ve had a few ask why our sign is dedicated to the class of 2020. Without that class, our new sign would not have been a possibility this year. The Class of 2020 raised over $8000 for their 8th grade trip that was taken away by the pandemic beginning in March of 2020. One of the allowable options for use of the money was to purchase something for the school. That class, who lost so much, ended up giving our school and community something that will help remember them for years to come. Our new sign is proudly dedicated to the class of 2020.
