This hands-on activity gave students a real-world look at microbiology while reinforcing the importance of proper cleaning, hand hygiene and infection prevention.
The students partnered with board certified behavior analyst Stevie Mefford to develop the project, while the City of Carrollton Public Works Department fabricated the metal and concrete display, and Heitz Signs printed the board.
This simple addition has the potential to make a meaningful difference for families by giving more children a way to communicate while enjoying one of our community's favorite parks.

Carroll County Schools was saddened to learn of the loss of former Carroll County Board of Education member Tommy Unker.
Tommy served the Carroll County Schools students and staff from November 2004 through December 31, 2012. Former Superintendents Carroll Yager and Lisa James remembered Tommy as their friend, neighbor and colleague.
“Tommy was a great person that loved Carroll County and Carroll County Schools,” Yager said. “Tommy was a great board member who served his community and the school system with compassion, energy and pride. He was always well prepared to discuss board meeting agenda items. He asked great questions and provided well thought out input. He was a valuable asset in moving our schools forward. The Carroll County community has lost one of its best.”
James added that she and her family lived beside Tommy and his family then later worked with him during his tenure on the board of education. “Tommy was a very supportive board member and made sure all decisions were in the best interest of the students of Carroll County,” James said. “He will be sadly missed by those of us who had the privilege of working beside Tommy.”

Livingood has worked with Carroll County Schools on multiple occasions from 2017 through 2019, including as interim superintendent and interim principal of CCHS and the Carroll County ATC.
“I adopted a whole new family down here,” Livingood said. "I think I’ve always gotten a bigger blessing being in Carroll County than any good I may have done.” Livingood, who retired as Grant County Schools superintendent in 2016, said he isn’t typically looking for a job, but “if the Lord sends an assignment my way I always try and do my best to help in a situation that a little bit of help might be needed.”
He will meet with the board at its June 25 meeting. Livingood said he wants to hear the board’s priorities and determine what they need from him. “I need to sit down and listen to the board and determine what needs they perceive. They’re the community so I’ll get a feel from them on what are some important things to do,” he added.
“I think the people in Carroll County are really good. I owe them my best effort until things get rolling and they’re able to get everybody in place for that district to run smoothly and the kids to get the greatest benefit,” Livingood said.
Please see this statement from the Carroll County Board of Education regarding a search for a new superintendent. We're also pleased to announce that Chief Financial Officer Jon Conrad will remain with Carroll County Schools.
