SWEA wraps up another productive year

The Southwire Engineering Academy, Carrollton High School's exceptional partnership with Southwire Company, holds a year-end presentation program where CHS interns share the progress they've made over the past year on real-world Southwire projects. SWEA is wrapping up its sixth year and alumni of the program routinely return for summer internships and several of the early program participants have already graduated college and are working as engineers today! Above is this year's crop of 28 at the Wednesday night event, held this year at the Thorn Customer Solutions Center on Old Bremen Road.

Riflery team produces
strong showing at state
Freshman Morgan Frank placed fifth overall at the GHSA 3 Position Air Rifle 2017 State Championship last weekend at Ft. Benning. The Trojans, as a team, placed seventh, a incredible showing for its first year of competition.

"I am so proud of this team," said Coach Mike Lewis. "On Sept 29, 2016, we got our gear. Within seven months, we are No. 7 in all of Georgia! A TON of hard work, dedication and love on this team. I couldn't be more proud!"

Congratulations to Coach Lewis and his charges for an exceptional year. The future is very bright for this program!
CHS Performing Arts

SISTER ACT is a musical comedy based on the 1992 box office smash film. The story follows the journey of disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier. Upon witnessing a murder committed by her gangster boyfriend, Deloris is placed in protective custody inside a convent. Needless to say, the choir will never be the same again!

Tennis on the table

While all of our sports teams have had an exceptional spring season, this is the year tennis history already has been made. The Lady Trojans, for the first time, reached the Final Four on Wednesday and will be playing Starr's Mill in the semi-finals this Saturday. Following a runner-up finish last year, the Trojans today compete against Statesboro for the opportunity to advance to the Final Four, too. It's been a 34-year drought since the Trojans won state and this may be the year to break it. And a Lady Trojans state crown would be icing on the cake! Best of luck to both teams!
