Calamus Wheatland High School is a four-year comprehensive high school located in Wheatland, Iowa. The school is part of the Calamus-Wheatland Community School District, and has an enrollment of approximately 120 students in grades nine through 12.
Located at 110 East Park Road, Wheatland (approximately one mile north of U.S. Highway 30), Calamus-Wheatland High School draws students from several communities in western and southwestern Clinton County, including Calamus, Wheatland and Toronto; the district also includes a small portion of northwestern Scott County, drawing students from Big Rock and rural areas north and west of Dixon.
Calamus-Wheatland came into being in 1986, the result of a merger of the former Calamus and Wheatland school districts. Toronto had earlier been a separate school district, and was incorporated into Wheatland sometime in the early 1960s.
Athletics
Calamus-Wheatland sports teams are known as the Warriors; their uniforms display the school's colors of navy blue and silver.
The school fields athletic teams in 12 sports, including:
- Summer: Baseball and softball.
- Fall: Volleyball, boys' cross country and girls' cross country.
- Winter: Boys' basketball, girls' basketball, and cheerleading.
- Spring: Boys' track and field, girls' track and field, boys' golf and girls' golf.
As the school does not have its own football or soccer programs, athletes wanting to play these sports participate in a cooperative program with Central Clinton High School, known to locals as Central DeWitt. The school also has a competitive dance team.
Calamus-Wheatland is classified as a 1A school (Iowa's smallest schools enrollment tier), according to the Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union. The school is a member of the thirteen-team Tri-Rivers Conference, which comprises schools from rural communities in Clinton, Jackson, Jones, Buchanan, Delaware, and Linn counties. The men's varsity basketball team finished second in the 2010 state basketball tournament, falling to the Siouxland Conference's Rock Valley High School.[1]
