'Go Back to Give back'
Homecoming theme

Homecoming is an exciting time in the Trojan Nation. It represents a time for students and alumni to come together and celebrate what being a Trojan means.

Since 2010, Carrollton also has worked to make Homecoming a season of giving back. Each year, the classes of Carrollton City Schools compete to collect key items to donate to local charities. We call this Homecoming tradition "Go Back to Give Back!"

Please join us and help make this the best Homecoming yet! This website is dedicated to all things Homecoming, and includes the list of grade collection partnerships that has become the hallmark of Homecoming celebrations.

And mark your calendars: Homecoming is Friday, Sept. 30, with the Trojans facing region rival Rome Wolves. See you then!
Floats, like this one from last year's parade, promote the giving back theme.

Taste of 
Carrollton

Carrollton's School Nutrition program participated in Taste of Carrollton for the fourth year in a row and has developed a following of folks who want to learn more about what is served in our school cafeterias. The program's reputation goes beyond Carrollton, too. Just last week Carole Thrower, CHS cafeteria manager, participated in a showcase called Taste of Health, where she served the district's popular kale and blueberry salad to state leaders.
