Caloosa Middle School

Title I School

While school-wide COVID-19 safety measures are taking place, we will be resuming our normal competitive sports program for the 2022 - 2023 school year. This means we will be traveling to other schools in order to compete. This is always subject to change. Please contact Troy Rains for more information.

A Lee County Intramural Insurance & Release Form (see below) is required to participate. It is available here by clicking on this link. For more information, you can email  [email protected]
