No courses can be added to your schedule after December 1, 2026. The GSU office needs time to order textbooks and have them shipped to your high school. Any required schedule changes after December 1, 2026, but before the January 15, 2027 add/drop deadline, mean the student is solely responsible for ordering their Spring 2027 textbooks.
On Saturday, November 8, these talented musicians attended the 249th Army Band All-State Masterclass. Throughout the day, they worked alongside accomplished musicians, sharpened their skills, and proudly represented Calhoun County Middle High School.
We are incredibly proud of their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence in music. We also wish them, along with all of our CCMHS band students, the very best of luck as they prepare for the West Virginia All-State Band Tryouts in December.
Your passion, perseverance, and talent continue to make our school and community proud. Keep reaching for excellence and chasing your goals!
🎵🎶 Good luck, and make Calhoun proud! 🎶🎵

On October 22, our a group of our 6th grade students had an exciting opportunity to visit Simonton Windows in Ellenboro, WV as part of the Explore Academy Student Video Contest.
Sponsored by Explore Academy and coordinated through the Explore the New Manufacturing team in Parkersburg, students were paired with Simonton Windows to learn firsthand about modern manufacturing careers and processes. During the visit, students toured the facility, observed the window production process, and gathered footage for their contest video project.
Before the tour, students participated in a safety briefing and prepared for the experience with the appropriate protective equipment. The visit provided a valuable look at the innovation, technology, and skilled workforce behind manufacturing in West Virginia.
We are proud of our students for representing our school and for taking part in this unique hands-on learning experience!
