Who recognizes these Best Dancers highlighted in the 1981 edition of the CCHS yearbook?!
Superintendent Casey Jaynes has prepared this statement to answer questions about the decision to close school and cancel Friday night's football game.
Spanish 2 students of Magali McCarty wrapped up an engaging unit that taught them about a unique tradition in Tarragona, Spain. The month of August in Tarragona is marked by an exciting competition where "castillers," or human tower builders, come together to form impressive, human multi-story structures in a display of teamwork and community spirit.
In a bid to introduce students to this unique aspect of Spanish culture while reinforcing their language skills, McCarty designed a series of classroom activities centered around the tradition of building human towers. The students delved into the cultural significance of the competition through reading, listening, and writing exercises, all conducted in Spanish.
The classroom activity culminated in a hands-on project where students constructed their own towers with cups. The challenge was to build the tallest and most stable tower within a set time limit. The towers were judged on their height and stability, with the requirement that each structure must stand independently to be counted.
The excitement in McCarty’s sixth period was heightened as two teams went head-to-head in a cup-building finale. The top team in each class received chocolate bars of their choice, while the overall winners were treated to king-size bars. The competition was so close that even runner-up chocolate bars were awarded to the team that narrowly missed winning overall.
McCarty said this activity not only helped reinforce Spanish vocabulary and language skills, but also gave students a unique glimpse into a lively Spanish tradition.
The overall winner, which also won in sixth period, was the team of Michaela Freeman, Ethan Crawfod and Nik Brown. The runner-up was Kaitlynn Bowling and Ashley Gomez-Mejia. The winner in the second period class was Kyan Johnson, Lucas Taylor, Rylan Kinman and Lincoln Miller.
The football game scheduled for Friday, August 30 has been cancelled due to illness and injury.
Carroll County students who attend iLEAD Academy will not attend classes in person on Aug. 29-30. They will log into their Thursday and Friday classes via Google Meet. Teachers will post the links in their classrooms ahead of time. Any CCHS student attending JCTC will need to provide their own transportation on Thursday and Friday.

Attention Panther families, JCTC classes will be in session even though Carroll County Schools will be closed Aug. 29-30. The school district will not be providing transportation. Carroll County Schools are also closed for the Labor Day holiday on Monday, Sept. 2.
Attention Panther families,
We will be closing school tomorrow and Friday, Aug. 29-30, due to illness among our staff and students. We certainly appreciate everyone's efforts in trying to keep our system up and running smoothly, but we have come to the point that it is not sustainable for everyone's health and safety.
On a side note, we will continue with athletic events as we will not be able to reschedule these during the current season. Athletes should have limited access to inside areas such as locker rooms and the gym.
Please take this opportunity over this long weekend to get well and rested.
CCHS has begun offering an intramural activity period on Fridays. Students played soccer, cornhole and volleyball on the first Friday. The teams were selected by student leaders. (More photos on the district Facebook page.)
The CCHS kitchen staff celebrated National Bow Tie Day by sporting their Panther black and yellow bow ties!
Madi Groves and Coy Willhoite represented Carroll County High School as ambassadors to the Swiss Wine Festival this weekend. Madi was named first runner-up for the girls. Ambassadors from seven schools participated in the parade, interviews with judges and shared their interpretation of quotes from Olympians. The City of Carrollton and Carroll County supported our students by allowing them to ride in a rescue boat pulled by a fire department truck. Congratulations to these Panthers! (More photos on the District Facebook page.)
The kickoff time for Friday night's CCHS Panthers football game against KCD has been delayed to 8 p.m. The delay is due to a potential heat advisory. Panther fans, please take note and be safe in the heat!

Throwback Thursday - Comment below if you recognize any of these CCHS students featured in the 1984 yearbook.
CCHS History teacher Rob Martin utilized new dry erase tables while his students played the Urban Game. The game demonstrates how quickly and disorganized cities were as they developed in the early 20th century. Instead of working individually on a piece of paper as he has had to do in the past, students are now experiencing this U.S. History lesson in a cooperative environment thanks to the new dry erase tables purchased by the high school. The new medium has increased student engagement.
