CCHS Class of 2026 graduate Alan Davila created this masterpiece in one of the high school's stairwells. It is a depiction of the Panther Path, a collaborative creation designed to promote skills Carroll County Schools will help students accomplish by the time they graduate.

The Panther Path includes:
Empowered Learner - Someone who works hard to learn and does not let failure stand in the way.
Productive Collaborator - Someone who works with others to achieve a common goal.
Critical Thinker - Someone who uses credible information to make good decisions.
Effective Communicator - Someone who listens, adapts and can clearly convey ideas and thoughts.

Carroll County Schools implemented a policy for athletic events to help ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone last year. Please see below for a refresher on the requirements as our high school athletic season is underway.

Beginning immediately:
• Students below ninth grade must be accompanied by an adult to attend Carroll County High School athletic events. The adult does not have to be the student’s legal parent or guardian.
• All Carroll County high school students must present a school-issued student ID for admission. Carroll County students who show their ID will receive free admission to home games.
• Students who cannot provide proof that they are a Carroll County High School student and arrive without an adult will not be admitted and will be asked to contact a parent or guardian for pickup.
• Younger students may still spend time with friends during games but are expected to remain in designated areas, including clearly identified safe play areas at the football field.

The policy also applies to students visiting from other schools. Visiting high school students may be asked to show a school ID or driver’s license to verify their grade level, and students from other counties will pay regular admission.

We appreciate the cooperation of our families, students and community as we work to make Carroll County athletic events safe, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.

Each family is asked to complete the Household Income Form (HIF), a completely private and confidential form that has a big impact on the funding our schools receive. Please complete the form today!
The number of forms completed directly affects the resources available for our students, including FRYSC’s Backpack Buddies that go home with several of our students, e-rate funding that provides affordable high-speed internet, and many other essential programs that support families across our district.
Completing the HIF takes less than 3-4 minutes, and every student needs a form on file. Our goal is to have completed forms for 80% of our students.
Please take a few moments today to fill out your student’s Household Income Form. Your effort makes a lasting difference for our students, families, and schools.

Kentucky schools now have a new accountability model that places a greater emphasis on student attendance, including chronic absenteeism.

A student is considered chronically absent when they miss 10% or more of the school year for any reason, excused or unexcused. In a typical 170-day school year, that means missing 17 or more days.

Regular attendance helps students stay engaged, build strong relationships with teachers and classmates, participate in school activities and stay on track for graduation and their future goals.

We understand that illnesses, family emergencies and unexpected situations happen. Our goal is not to discourage families from keeping sick children home when necessary. Instead, we want to encourage consistent attendance whenever students are healthy and able to attend.

Families can help by:

šŸ–¤ Scheduling appointments outside of school hours when possible
šŸ’› Planning vacations during school breaks
šŸ–¤ Encouraging students to attend school every day unless they are truly ill
šŸ’› Communicating with your child's school if challenges arise that may affect attendance

Questions about attendance? Contact Mark Willhoite, Chief Operations Officer/Director of Pupil Personnel, at 732-7070.
