Welcome to Calhoun High School — proudly known as Sandcrab Nation! It is an honor to serve as Principal of this outstanding school, where tradition, excellence, and student success come together to create something truly special.

Calhoun High School is home to over 1,200 students from every corner of our county — including Port Lavaca, Port O’Connor, Seadrift, Point Comfort, Olivia, Port Alto, and beyond. No matter where you come from, you’ll find a place to belong here at CHS.

At Calhoun High School, excellence isn’t a goal — it’s a tradition. Across academics, athletics, and fine arts, Sandcrabs have built a reputation for success that continues year after year:

✔ UIL Academic teams that consistently bring home district championships

✔ State-level recognition in Math with a proud championship tradition

✔ ACT scores that routinely exceed state and national averages

✔ Millions of dollars in scholarships awarded to our graduates each year

✔ A Powerlifting program recognized across Texas for its championship legacy

✔ Choir and Band programs with decades of Sweepstakes honors

✔ Athletic teams that regularly advance to postseason play — from football and basketball to soccer, softball, tennis, and more
 

Inside the classroom, students have access to a wide range of opportunities — from Advanced Placement (AP) and dual-credit courses to robotics, advanced welding, and career and technical programs. Whether they are preparing for college, career, military service, or community leadership, CHS provides the foundation to help students achieve their goals.

But what truly sets CHS apart is our people — the students, staff, families, and community members who work hard, support one another, and proudly represent the Fighting Sandcrabs.

I invite you to visit our campus and experience the energy, pride, and tradition of Calhoun High School for yourself. If you have questions or want to learn more, call us at 361.552.3775 or stop by — my door is always open.

Go Sandcrabs!
