Dear Carroll Community,
As we journey through Holy Week to Easter Sunday, we are reminded of the selfless sacrifice Christ made when gave up His life so we could live. As we know, the crucifixion is always followed by the resurrection.
In one of his Easter messages, Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia said, "The resurrection reminds us that God is life and He never abandons us."
As you and your families reflect on the meaning of the most important day on the Church calendar, may your Easter be filled with peace and Joy.

Jacob George, Jonathan D. Gould, and Juliana G. Wallgren (left to right) have achieved a distinction that places them among the more than 15,000 students who met the standards to qualify as Finalists. They are part of a distinguished group representing less than one percent of all U.S. high school graduating seniors.
“Jacob, Jonathan, and Juliana are inquisitive, creative, independent learners who seek to know why and how new knowledge can be applied and used in novel ways,” said Anchen Schulz, Ph.D., Carroll principal. “The attributes that these students share are what have distinguished them throughout their academic careers. We are extremely proud of Jacob, Jonathan, and Juliana’s accomplishments and honored to share their recognition as National Merit Scholarship Finalists.”

Carroll Boys Basketball concludes tenth consecutive 20-win season
|
|
At the beginning of the school year, if anyone was talking about the Patriots Varsity Boys Basketball team’s chances this season, the prognosis was that they would be average at best. Boy did Coach Romanczuk and company prove all of the naysayers wrong. The Carroll squad finished 20-8 overall and 10-3 in the Catholic League. The season was topped off with two huge wins against Wood, back to back in Carroll’s home gym, in front of an enthusiastic home crowd.
The team was off and running for post-season play. Their first stop was to the Palestra to face top-ranked Bonner-Prendie. The game turned out to be a real heartbreaker. Carroll had a couple chances to seal the deal down the stretch, but it just was not in the cards. At the state tournament, Carroll made it all of the way to the quarter finals only to lose another barnburner. This team never quit on itself or their coaches. The Patriots have had ten 20-win seasons in a row and also 10 seasons in a row with a state tournament invitation.
