BOE names Albertus sole finalist for superintendency

Dr. Mark Albertus, principal of Carrollton High School, has been named the sole finalist for the Carrollton City Schools superintendent position that will become open upon the retirement of Dr. Kent Edwards in June.

After reviewing both internal and external candidate submissions, the Carrollton Board of Education made the announcement Thursday.

"This decision shapes our future," said Dr. Jimmy Pope, Board of Education chairman. "We have been deliberate and thorough. The board worked tirelessly to select the candidate we believe has the skills and intellect to lead our system forward. We are excited for our students, our employees, our community and for the Albertus family. We feel Dr. Albertus is the ideal candidate to lead Carrollton City Schools."

Dr. Albertus has served as principal of CHS since the fall of 2008. 

"I'm humbled and honored to be chosen by our board of education to help lead Carrollton City Schools into the future," said Albertus. "In my time here, I have been blessed to have worked at Carrollton High School with an amazing staff for the past eight years. I look forward to supporting our entire school system and our community in the years ahead." More

Belize visit fun, rewarding for CJHS students
Over the holiday break, a group of CJHS students and others took a trip to the country of Belize in Central America. While there, students delivered school supplies donated by our local Staples to Santa Elena Primary Catholic School, pictured above. Trip coordinator Scott Morris, a retired CJHS math teacher who has been planning the school trips for years, said, "Our school visit was amazing. Approximately 900 students attend this school. After dropping off a sizeable donation of supplies to the school, we spent time with some of the students who turned out to greet us. It was a great day." Pictured at right are CJHS students who packed up the school supplies prior to the trip.
