Carroll County students did a wonderful job representing our district at today’s Carroll County Chamber of Commerce meeting!

The district welcomed business and community leaders to Carroll County Middle School, where students from across grade levels took part in the program. Two students from Kathryn Winn Primary greeted guests, two Cartmell Elementary students led the Pledge of Allegiance, and two Carroll County High School students shared highlights about our district. The CCMS band performed for the guests and the W.E.B. Leaders served as hosts and hostesses.

Each student was well-spoken, confident and poised throughout their presentation. We’re proud of these students and the way they represented Carroll County Schools!

CCMS students in the gifted and talented program are collaborating to design a Halloween-themed, nine hole Putt-Putt golf course. Through this hands-on project, students are applying measurement, geometry, and problem-solving skills while developing creativity and teamwork. Once their course is complete, students will have the opportunity to play the holes they designed.
After completing their collaborative work, students can dive into passion projects driven by their individual interests, allowing them to explore their strengths, pursue their curiosity, and take ownership of their learning. (Photos courtesy of Mrs. Snow.)

Four students in the Carroll County Middle School English Language Learners program gave a presentation to the Carroll County Board of Education last night.
The ELL students made the same presentation to their class and other districtwide administrators recently as part of an initiative to improve their speaking and presentation skills as well as give them confidence in their abilities. Each student spoke about their culture and a favorite food connected to their lineage. They explained why it is culturally significant, why they like the food and how to prepare the dish.

Apparently, the secret to serious STEM thinking is sticking out your tongue! Sideways, straight out, curled up… whatever works!

These young thinkers were hard at work during iLEAD Academy’s STEM Night, where students led spectators in games they created in computer and engineering classes. The iLEAD high schoolers also challenged younger students to put their critical thinking skills to the test. (More photos on the District Facebook page.)

An 18-year-old Carroll County High School student has been charged with terroristic threatening first degree after making a bomb threat at school today.
The student displayed what he called a lithium bomb in the hallway and gave it to another student. That student then gave it to a teacher, who easily identified it as batteries rather than a bomb.
The teacher then turned the item in to the school administration.
Law enforcement determined it was not a bomb, but was cell phone batteries taped together.
ā€œWe take these incidents very seriously,ā€ said Carroll County Schools Chief Operations Officer Mark Willhoite, emphasizing the district’s commitment to be transparent about incidents with our community.
ā€œThe teacher quickly identified the item as a couple of batteries wrapped up and no students or staff were in danger,ā€ he said. No lockdown was necessary because it was easily identified to be batteries.
The student was arrested by the Carrollton Police Department, which is continuing its investigation.
