Read Across America at CES
The Carrollton Kiwanis Club visited Carrollton Elementary Friday as a participant in the 20th anniversary of "Read Across America," a nationwide initiative to celebrate literacy. The event is typically held on Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2, but many groups choose to celebrate a little early. Above, Kiwanian Jenny Ingram, left, listens to her third-grade daughter Julia read "Are You My Mother?" Right, Randy Miller incorporates animation to the delight of his listeners.

Parents of current eighth grade students at Carrollton Junior High School who will transition to CHS next year are encouraged to visit the CHS website to download the freshman handbook and eighth grade registration information. Links to both can be found here.

CHS students score high on AP exams
Of Carrollton High School's Class of 2016 AP test takers, more than half scored well enough on Advanced Placement exams to earn college credit, scoring at least a 3 or higher on 151 individual exams out of a total of 288 administered. B
ut not all students who take AP courses take the exams, said Susan Gordy, CHS assistant principal over curriculum.
"Our philosophy is to encourage students to take AP classes to expose them to the rigor even if they don't take the exams," she said. "AP and International Baccalaureate classes are some of the best courses for students to take for college preparation."
The state has seen a 7.7 percent increase in the percentage of graduates scoring a 3 or higher on an AP exam. At an average college credit rate of $281.77 per credit hour, this represents a significant savings for Georgia students and families, according to a Georgia Department of Education press release. This number, when applied to the 151 AP exams scoring a 3 or higher at CHS, nets a potential savings of $127,642 for Class of 2016 students.
"While we support high school students taking college classes as dually enrolled students at the University of West Georgia and West Georgia Technical College when appropriate, AP and IB high school courses still set the standard for academic rigor and are highly regarded litmus tests in predicting college success," said David Brooks, CHS principal. "We are proud of our students who accept this challenge and congratulate their efforts in scoring well." FULL STORY
