CHS graduation rate increases
School performance consistently tops state average
Carrollton High School continues to post a high school graduation rate well above Georgia as a whole and increased its rate by 2.5 percentage points with 89.4 percent of the Class of 2018 earning a high school diploma.
And while it is important to acknowledge this increase as a metric indicating school improvement, it is also prudent to recognize the overall preparedness of the graduates and what their post-secondary plans entail, said Dr. Mark Albertus, superintendent.
"We are extremely proud of each individual for achieving this important milestone, but we are also proud to see what our graduates are doing after they leave the halls of CHS," he said.
Of the 371 CHS graduates, 70 percent planned to attend a four-year college or university, 14 percent planned to attend a two-year institution, and 4 percent had committed to join the military, resulting in 87 percent of the class moving on to the next level, according to data collected by CHS counselors.

Annual celebration culminates tomorrow
|
|
After weeks of preparation - it's finally here! Homecoming is tomorrow and we want to remind you of the activities that will be taking place.
As has been the tradition in recent years, CMS will hold a fall festival tomorrow morning and CJHS will host a PBIS celebration. A pep rally for CHS students will be held at Grisham Stadium at 10:30. There, the Senior Superlatives will be announced and the Homecoming King revealed.
The parade through campus will begin about 1:00 and is open to the entire community. The game against region foe East Paulding is set for 7:30. The Trojan Band will entertain early arrivals with a performance in the CHS AMP at 6:30. At halftime, the Homecoming Court will be recognized and the 2018 Homecoming Queen announced. A more detailed schedule for tomorrow night is at right.
Earlier this week Carrollton City Schools administrators continued the annual tradition of distributing Trojan car decals at each school during morning drop-off. If you were missed and would like a decal, just ask for one at your school's front office reception area.

Class reunion celebrations
Homecoming weekend is the traditional time for class reunions, but not all classes choose Homecoming to celebrate. Last year, the Class of 1987, pictured above, celebrated its 30th reunion in Alumni Plaza on Oct. 27, three weeks after Homecoming. Tomorrow, four classes, with a 45-year span between the oldest and youngest, will gather before the game and continue reunion celebrations through the weekend: Class of 1968 with celebrate its 50th anniversary; Class of 2003, 15th; Class of 2008, 10th; and Class of 2013, fifth. It's great to see Trojans still finding time for fellowship after all these years!

Southwire donation supports food pantry
Throughout the month of August, Southwire's Carrollton facilities collected more than 2,500 food items for the Carrollton City Schools' food pantry, which is dedicated to providing food for the students living in poverty throughout the Carrollton community.
"As a school system, of course we are focused on educating children, but it goes way beyond that," said Amanda Carden, director of student support at Carrollton City Schools. "We are dedicated to serving the whole child, and in doing so, we support not only the children, but their siblings, their parents and their families. Southwire's generous donation to our food pantry fits this overarching mission, and we are truly grateful to have this partnership. Southwire's support is helping us lead the way to a brighter future by nurturing our children first."
The collection was led by Southwire's Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) initiative as a partnership with Southwire's Project GIFT®. After learning of the need in the community, Southwire set out to collect non-perishable goods that will be distributed to families throughout the rest of the year and during the holiday break. MORE
