CALHOUN COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - An East Alabama middle school is closing its doors. A decision was made at the February 28 Calhoun County Board meeting to close Saks Middle School beginning with the 2023-24 school year.

Students in grades 7 and 8 will move to Saks High School and students in grades 5 and 6 will move to Saks Elementary School.

The configuration will be grades 7-12 at Saks High School and grades K-6 at Saks Elementary. This configuration of two schools (K-6 and 7-12) will match that of four other community schools in Calhoun County...Ohatchee, Pleasant Valley, Weaver, and Wellborn.
