Current and future Patriots smile for a selfie at the
Class of 2020 Acceptance Party!
LETTER 
FROM  PRINCIPAL
SABLESKI
Good Afternoon,

We welcomed nearly 200 future Patriots and their parents at the Class of 2020 Welcome Party this past weekend.  These young people are eager to take the next step in their journey, and I encouraged all of them to get involved, be a scholar, nurture friendships, and try something new; to stretch themselves and learn how to rely on themselves and other people, and to engage and invest their time in Carroll to prepare for life beyond its doors.

I am happy to say that these are not just words of encouragement, but rather realities that I witness each day.   Our students strive for excellence in the classroom, in the arts, and on the fields and courts of play, and I am encouraged by how they support their peers in reaching their goals.  Teachers hold our students to the highest standards and inspire them to be the best they can be. 

I believe that the strong faith-based community at Carroll will prepare our students for the next step in life.  Students leave with a strong moral compass and a strong sense of self, ready to stand on their own two feet and accept any challenge that comes their way. 

I am inspired every day I come to our extraordinary school and can say with confidence that It's a Great Day to Be a Patriot!

Matt
