The Nov. 22, 1956 Calhoun Times announced the completion of an an elementary school addition which contained science and home ec laboratories, and cafeteria for Stephens School, an all-grades campus in Calhoun. Stephens already was housing all Black students in both the county and city systems after a consolidation during the 1951-52 school year.
