#MondaysCanBeBeautiful

Work-Based Learning student Landon New is learning about the operations at Carrollton Utilities. The city-owned entity operates water, sewer and natural gas facilities that service multiple cities and counties. The goal for all WBL students is to be considered college and/or career ready at graduation. Those students who are career ready receive a notation on their diploma and a cord to wear at graduation

Congratulations to the new Student Lighthouse Team members at Cartmell Elementary. Students were recognized for passing the application for the club and demonstrating the 8 Habits, in conjunction with the Leader In Me program. They will create student-led projects and learn about leadership throughout the year. (Photo courtesy of Ms. Martinez.)

Friends and family gathered at CCHS today to congratulate and celebrate Shelby Hillebrandt as she prepares to begin her second year in the National FFA Band. The band will play at the national convention this coming week in Indianapolis. 🎺🎶

Big Shout-Out to the Carroll County Retired Teachers Association! 🎉

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Carroll County Retired Teachers Association for their generous donation of $75 Visa gift cards to each school Family Resources Youth Services Center (FRYSC). Your support helps us continue our work with students and families across our schools.

These donations mean so much to us, and even more to the families we serve. 🖤💛 Thank you for your continued commitment to our schools and community!

🚀✨ STEM Night at iLEAD Academy was a blast! ✨🚀

Students showed off their creativity and tech skills to parents and the community through hands-on challenges like car racing, mini catapult builds, and even designing mini golf course holes! 🏎️⛳💡

Younger students also got in on the fun with interactive demos, getting a sneak peek at what makes iLEAD such an exciting place to learn and explore. 🔧🤖👧🧒

Work-Based Learning students exploring the plumbing trade are getting first-hand experience. Evan Tuttle is working with Hawkins Plumbing while Brayden Stone is working with Tucker's Plumbing. Both students are learning skills related to the trade. The goal for all WBL students is to be considered college and/or career ready at graduation. Those students who are career ready receive a notation on their diploma and a cord to wear at graduation.

🐾🎓Join us at Panther Field tomorrow night to celebrate the senior members of the football team and marching band. The recognition begins at 7 p.m. with a football game against Lloyd Memorial to follow. 🏈🖤💛 The Pep Club theme for the night is neon - students show out in your brightest colors! 💡🤩

✈️🔧 CCHS students had an exciting day exploring careers in aircraft maintenance and security! 🛠️🚗✈️

They got to talk with an airport police officer, a maintenance supervisor, and an aircraft maintenance instructor. Students saw the inside of a plane being repaired, an aircraft engine, and the specialized vehicles that keep the airport running smoothly! 👩‍🔧👨‍🔧💪
