Calhoun City Schools names the Class of 2021 REACH Scholars

preconceived notions and ensure those dreams become reality.

REACH Scholars are required to sign a contract vowing to maintain good behavior, keep a cumulative grade point average above 2.5, meet with their REACH mentor at least twice a month and, along with their parents’ guidance, focus on achieving both a high school diploma and college degree.

Starr Mathews, the Calhoun Rotary Club, Calhoun City Schools’ faculty and staff and the Calhoun High School student body have all pledged their support of the REACH Scholars Program.

The Class of 2021 REACH Scholars were named as part of the statewide Signing Day at Calhoun High School’s Media / College and Career Center. Dr. Michele Taylor, Superintendent welcomed guests to the event and recognized Rotary Club President John King and retired educator and Rotary member Jim Lay. Following a video presentation from Governor Nathan Deal and First Lady Deal, Representative John Meadows offered the Governor’s commendation. The Class of 2021 REACH Scholars were named: Freddy Mena Bravo and Chantel Johnson were given the opportunity to sign their commitment contracts.
