A new initiative to improve safety at all high school athletic events was launched successfully at our first home football game on Friday. Please remember that all students below ninth grade must be accompanied by an adult to all high school athletic events. This applies to students from other counties as well as our students. All high schoolers must show their student ID for entry. All CCHS students get free admission with their school-issued ID badge.

Congratulations to CCHS football player Jaokbi Chapman-Meadows for receiving NCKC Player of the Week honors! 🏈🏆

The Carroll County Area Technology Center’s welding program recently received a $4,000 grant from Airgas, which sent representatives to visit with the students and learn more about the program.
Welding instructor Justin Tingle used the grant money to purchase essential items such as welding hoods, safety equipment and grinding disks. Local support from Airgas employees Quinton Featherstone, the Terminal Manager at Ghent; Terry Barrett, the District Manager; and Wendy Clifford, Account Manager, made this grant possible.
Criss Spicer, North Zone Fleet Maintenance Manager-Merchant Gases at Airgas, said the welding program’s students and increased number of female welders in the class was inspiring. He praised the class for being grateful for the equipment and being engaged with Airgas representatives when they visited the ATC.
"Industry partners like Airgas keep our programs competitive. Mr. Tingle does an incredible job of working to provide the best learning experience he can for our students,” said ATC Principal Kirk Brooks. “Support from companies like Airgas ensure that the young men and women of our communities arrive at adulthood with the best training our school has to offer. I am very grateful for their support and generosity."
