Deadline to submit senior letters is April 14

Don't forget: Traditions started several years ago have turned into two of the most anticipated hallmarks of a Carrollton High School senior's year - the senior breakfast, followed by the presentation of senior letters.

Please help make this a special event for our seniors by sending a letter to a friend, sibling, son or daughter, or student or former student. Please use standard letter-size envelopes, and do not include bulky enclosures or packages. Include the student's first and last name on the outside of the envelope. The deadline to submit letters is Thursday, April 14. More
Band has fun with April 1
Social media can be a fun thing, especially on April Fools' Day! The Trojan Band Facebook and blog posted an  "announcement" revealing the design of a new band uniform, pictured at right, even going as far as to "explain" the obvious departure from the traditional Trojan color scheme. The engaging post generated several comments and many shares, with one band fan posting, " Orange=bad. Glad it's a joke."
Prom signup under way

Prom signup will continue after spring break. Each prom couple must register for prom, and all seniors must sign up for senior walk.

If you intend to bring someone to prom who DOES NOT go to CHS, you must fill out and submit a non-student guest registration form. Those forms are available outside room 102.

You must have paid for prom in order to sign up. Prom dues are now $115. All juniors must pay dues, as must any senior who did not pay last year.
This year's motto:

"The best way to predict the future is to create it."

Abraham Lincoln
