Final Days to Register for Fall Youth Sports Leagues
De Armanville, AL · August 10, 2026
Morning mist is clinging to the Choccolocco Valley, but clear skies and a busy week of community activities lie ahead.
The Lead
As classrooms open across Calhoun County for the 2026–2027 school year, municipal leaders and educational officials are expanding technical training programs to serve students in De Armanville and nearby communities. A new partnership between regional community colleges and state universities creates streamlined pathways for students earning vocational and technical credentials to transfer directly into four-year degree programs. Combined with expanded high school career-tech offerings in emergency response, agriculture, and industrial manufacturing, local education boards aim to keep young talent rooted in East Alabama. District administrators will present the first enrollment figures and program updates at next week's county educational briefing.
