Congrats, Jillian Milano! OHSAA District Champion!

LETTER 
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
As the weather turns cooler and the colors of nature begin to change, things get very busy around Carroll High School.  It is Homecoming week, and each day this week students are encouraged to dress according to the theme for that day.  There will be a pep rally on Friday during school, the king and queen will be crowned at Friday night's football game, and we'll cap the week off with the Homecoming Dance on Saturday night.  Additionally, we will be giving the PSAT test on Wednesday, we will have Mass and celebrate Unity Day next week, Parent-Teacher Conferences are next Thursday, 8th grade days are only two weeks away and Fall sports are into their tournament season.  It is certainly a busy time to be a Patriot!

All of these extracurricular activities are important aspects of the high school experience, but they should always remain secondary to the work done in the classroom each day.  Today begins the 2nd quarter of school and students have a "fresh start" in all of their classes.  I encourage you to check NetClassroom and Blackboard accounts regularly, attend conferences, talk to them about what they are learning and make sure they have time each day for focused study.  We want every student at Carroll to be prepared for college.  To do so, parents and the school need to work together each day to ensure the success of our students. 

Thank you for trusting your kids with us each day!
