Artifacts needed for new high school

With construction of the first phase of the replacement Carrollton High School well under way and expected to be completed this spring, attention moves to the interior spaces and we need your help.

In the first building alone, there are 12 large display cases set aside to showcase artifacts representing the 130-year history of Carrollton High School and Carrollton City Schools. All aspects of the Carrollton experience will be represented, from academics, to athletics to the arts.

"When we were in the planning stages of the new high school, a top priority was to dedicate ample space to honor our school's history," said Dr. Mark Albertus, superintendent. 

In the lobby, 61 of a total of 62 state championship trophies, representing a bevy of sports plus debate and literary, will be on display along with other trophies and artifacts. A 1924 missing trophy represents CHS's first state title - in track - not a surprise considering the exceptional caliber of our track programs.

Although we already have collected a lot of artifacts, we will need much more to fill the cases. There will also be a dedicated case for Carver High School, the former segregated school that graduated its last class in 1969. Artifacts are especially needed to honor this period of history. 

Trojan and Yellow Jacket alumni are asked to donate items to celebrate the entire Carrollton experience. Please contact school historian Rita Gentry via email at rita.gentry@carrolltoncityschools.net for more information and to arrange pickup.

Celebrating being ALL IN

Carrollton City Schools employees returned from the holiday break to kick off the second semester of the school year with a convocation held at the Mabry Center for the Arts bright and early Monday, a professional learning day for teachers and staff. At the end of the program, 15 teachers were recognized for serving as stellar examples of today's "All In" employees, selected by the administrative staffs at their respective schools. Learn more
