Monday, August 23, marked the first day of classes for all Carroll students this 2021-22 school year. We are delighted to return to five days per week of in-person learning and all the co-curricular and extracurricular activities that come with a high-energy high school learning environment. Our lunch program, Athletic and Performing Arts schedules, transportation services, etc. are functioning on our normal schedule.
Face masks are required for all students, faculty and staff and visitors during the school day regardless of vaccination status. Masks are not required when eating or outside, however, we ask all to observe social distancing when not wearing a mask. We strongly encourage everyone who is able in our community to protect yourself and your loved ones by getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
Carroll’s first regular-season football game is Saturday, August 28, against Theodore Roosevelt High School. Kick-off is scheduled for 3 PM on Collins Field. Let the school year begin!

Nyckoles Harbor '23
Gatorade District of Columbia Boys Track & Field Player of the Year
|
|
Nyckoles Harbor '23 has been named Gatorade Player of the Year (2021) in the District of Columbia for Boys Track & Field. One prep athlete in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia are chosen annually across twelve sports for athletic excellence, high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character (click here for video).
The 6’5”, 230-pound rising junior swept the 100- and 200-meter dash events at the DCSAA meet this past spring, leading the Lions to a second place team finish. Harbor set meet records in both the 100 (10.38) and 200 (21.36) and was a member of Carroll’s victorious 4x100- and 4x200-meter relay quartets. He clocked a personal best 10.31 in the 100-meter dash – good for second place nationally – at the Outdoor Nationals at the University of Oregon this summer.
Nyck’s hard work extends to the classroom, too, where he maintains a 3.4 GPA. He is looking forward to resuming his prep football career (WR/DE) this fall as the Lions look forward to a full 10-game (post-pandemic ) regular season. Harbor holds football scholarship offers from most major programs in the country, including Notre Dame, the University of Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Maryland, Georgia and Penn State.
While a team championship was out of reach for Carroll’s Track and Field competitors this year, several student-athletes were crowned event champions at the DCSAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, held June 8-10 at Dunbar High School. Notable performances included:
