Drugs and Alcohol – Latest “Trends” with High School Students

Please remember this presentation will begin tonight at 7:00 PM in the CHS cafeteria. 


We invite all parents to attend this very informative meeting with our CHS School Resource Officer, Allen Smith. Officer Smith will share with our parents/community what the latest “trends” are regarding drug and alcohol use and availability with our students. Recovery Resources will also be available to talk about resources that are available to help families who are experiencing difficulty with alcohol/drug use with their teens.

While your child may not be involved in this part of our society, this is truly an important facet that we'd love for you to understand.  It may never truly impact you but it does hit close to home for us as we work with teenagers.

Registration Ending Friday

Please help your student complete his/her course selection for the 2010-2011 school year. Family/student access to the Skyward on-line registration program for course selection will be discontinued at the end of the day on Friday, March 5, 2010. If you need any help, please contact the Carroll High School Guidance Office at 817.949.5620 or the Carroll Senior High School Guidance Office at 817.949.5813.

TAKS Success

We would like to thank our wonderful students for a successful TAKS day.  While entering several classrooms to observe our testing conditions I continually observed amazing things from our kids.  I'd also like to thank our staff for working so amazingly throughout the day.

9 weeks and we'll complete our testing with Math, Science and Social Studies in May.  If your child needs additional help with any of these subjects please contact their teacher and they can direct you to the format we'll use for providing our students opportunities to be successful.

AP Test Registration

We have a new on-line system, through TotalRegistration, for students to order their AP exams for the May administration.

After they order their AP exams. they need to print two copies of their registration form. Then, they need to bring one of the registration forms to the Guidance office at their school to pay for the exams. Each exam costs $60.00.
