Carroll County High School staff kicked off the 2026-2027 school year with a travel-themed pep rally that had everyone ready for takeoff.
Captain Henderson had the controls, while flight attendants, Mrs. Neff, Mrs. Lewellyn and Ms. Ball, made sure every passenger was ready for takeoff, handing out tickets to laughter, friendly competition and plenty of Panther pride.
There was no turbulence on this flight, just dancing, games, cheering and lots of laughter as the CCHS team celebrated one another before students return. The event set the tone for a positive, encouraging school culture where staff support one another and build strong relationships. (More photos and videos on the District Facebook page.)

If you've ever been to Senior Startup at Carroll County High School, you know it's one of the best places to catch a few behind-the-scenes laughs.
Every incoming senior leaves with a polished yearbook portrait that looks like it belongs on the cover of a magazine.
What you don't see is everything happening just outside the camera frame.
The tuxedo shirts? They're completely open in the back and go on more like an apron than an actual shirt. It's the original "business on the top, casual on the bottom" look. The jackets come in a variety of sizes that can leave students scratching their heads, but somehow the Strawbridge Studios staff can size you up with one quick glance. There are only a handful of bow ties making the rounds, so yes, everyone gets a turn with the same one for a few minutes.
The young ladies wear the traditional black velvet drape for their portraits. Since one size definitely does not fit all, the drapes are often secured in the back with binder clips. If they choose, they can also add a classic strand of pearls to complete the look. Just like the bow ties, it's the very same necklace making its way from one senior to the next throughout the day. Our very first senior this year confidently slipped her drape on, only to announce that it was a skirt because it reached all the way to her waist. Thanks to Mom and the Strawbridge staff, it was quickly turned the right way, clipped into place and transformed into a beautiful senior portrait.
It's just another reminder that yearbook photos are a little bit of movie magic. What looks elegant and effortless in the final picture is often held together with binder clips, shared bow ties, one well-traveled strand of pearls, a little creativity and plenty of laughter behind the scenes.
Enjoy a few of our favorite "what's really happening" moments from Senior Startup! And stay tuned for more photos from Senior Startup on the District Facebook page.
