Carroll is a great school and offers so many diverse opportunities. The limitation is that we lack a formal trades training center.

It has been a great experience. Almost all of the teachers are great, and extremely helpful. Carroll offers paths for all sorts of students, facilitating what they want for their future. There are so many AP courses to prepare you for college, but if that's not the students speed, there is also trade skill courses that teach you construction, masonry, welding, etc.

Carroll high school has great sporting programs and the facilities are amazing. The teachers are really good too and they care about each students success. There are so many options for students to feel included. Such as sports like football soccer tennis and now men's volleyball just to name a few. There are options for non sporty people too like show choir and band. The culture is amazing and the environment is so welcoming and friendly.
