Members of the Young Leaders Institute at Carroll County High School met with community partners yesterday to begin enacting the Leadership in Action plan. This year, the Leadership in Action capstone is being redesigned to take leadership lessons beyond the classroom and put students directly into the community where they can make an impact.

Who is a Carroll County educator who goes above and beyond?

We have so many educators who give their time, talent and heart to help our students thrive. Now, our community has an opportunity to make sure their efforts are recognized beyond our schools.

The Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative is celebrating its 50th anniversary by celebrating our teachers. Three Carroll County educators will be selected as finalists for the Honoring Excellence Ceremony: 50 Educators. 50 Years. One Mission, with one educator receiving the award for our district.

We invite parents, families, students, colleagues and community members to nominate a Carroll County educator who invests in their students, continues to grow professionally and consistently goes above and beyond.

If someone comes to mind, take a few minutes to tell their story. Your nomination could help shine a light on an educator who deserves to be recognized.

Nominate a Carroll County educator at www.ovec.org/nominate.

The Honoring Excellence Ceremony will be held November 17 in Shelbyville.

Carroll County Middle School was named in an unfortunately popular internet trend involving the "Cat in the Hat." CCMS staff and the Carrollton Police Department immediately began investigating. No threats were made, but we are alerting families to the issue. An increased police presence will be visible in our schools.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this matter.
