Through a state program that gives schools the first opportunity to purchase surplus vehicles, the ATC recently added four newer vehicles to its automotive program. The vehicles include a former Kentucky State Police SUV, two trucks and a Dodge Charger.
The variety of makes and models will give students more hands-on experience working on different types of vehicles as they develop their automotive skills.
It was hard to tell who had the most fun when the Carroll County Area Technology center hosted a Trick-or-Treat event for their neighbors at Cartmell Elementary School - the big kids or the little kids! The ATC students spent days decorating and designing a fun-filled trek through the building for the Cartmell students. (More photos on the District Facebook page.)
Halloween was a busy time at Carroll County Schools!
Trick or treat events were held throughout schools, costumes of all types and sizes could be spotted from elementary to high school and, of course, we were so excited to see the huge turnout at the district-sponsored Trunk or Treat! It was also fun to see the Carroll County Area Technology Center students turn their school into a giant Halloween house for their neighbors at Cartmell Elementary.
The Kindergarten and Winn enrichment teams tied for first place - the Monsters Inc and Inside Out teams. They will split a $150 prize, which can be used for their classrooms. The People’s Choice award went to Kelly Tuttle’s depiction of Andy’s Room from Toy Story.
(More Trunk or Treat photos on the District Facebook page.)
Join them tonight at Panther Field as we celebrate seniors from football, dance, cheer and band. The ceremony begins at 6:45 p.m.
Students and staff are getting into the Halloween spirit as they transform the ATC into a trick-or-treat adventure for their neighbors at Cartmell Elementary School. On Thursday, the halls will be filled with little ghosts, goblins and plenty of Halloween fun as they visit each of the classrooms, play games and collect sweet treats!
Encourage your student to make the most of their ATC experience by getting involved in HOSA, SkillsUSA, or DECA!**
Club membership gives students opportunities to build leadership and teamwork skills, participate in community service, attend fun events, make connections, and strengthen their resumes.
Students who choose the regional/state/national membership level can also pursue competitions, conferences, and scholarship opportunities.
We offer different membership options so there’s a way for every student to get involved!
Take a look at the flyer for membership options and costs, and encourage your student to talk with their club sponsor or Mrs. Wright to get started.
💙💚 Help us get our students connected, involved, and making the most of their ATC experience!

Mrs. Wright volunteered to be the “patient” while CCATC nursing students practiced the skills needed to change an occupied hospital bed. That meant getting tucked in, rolled around and repositioned while the future nurses put their training to work.
The ladies did a great job, and Mrs. Wright was a very good sport.

The Carroll County Area Technology Center, iLead Academy, and JCTC will be OPEN and IN SESSION on Monday, September 21.
Please remember that our programs serve students from multiple school districts, so our calendar does not always match each district’s home high school calendar.
Carroll County students: Your district is not in session on September 21, so you are NOT required to attend. However, our building will be open, and you are always welcome to come in! This can be a great opportunity to get extra help, catch up on work, or have additional time in your program.
Students from other districts: Please follow your home district’s calendar and normal attendance expectations. We will see you Monday.
