Game Over Canceled

Carroll High Parents & Staff,

By now you may have heard about the shooting that occurred at Town Square this evening. While we don't have a lot of details, we know that at least one male adult from Southlake died as a result of the tragic events that unfolded. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this terrible time, as well as to our local law enforcement officers who are handling the investigation.

In light of this unprecedented event in our community, Carroll ISD and city officials have made the decision to cancel the Game Over mock car crash event scheduled at Carroll High School tomorrow. CISD and Southlake DPS mutually agree it is not in the best interest of our students to move forward with this emotionally impactful drug and alcohol program at this time. We also do not want to pull city resources away from the handling of this tragic event in our community.

The Game Over program has a powerful message and we hope to perhaps reschedule in the fall. We appreciate the time and effort that has gone in to the organization and planning of Game Over, but we just believe that our students would be better served with a normal routine tomorrow. It's been a difficult year on many fronts and we do not want to add to the anxiousness of students who might have heard about tonight's shooting in Southlake. As always, our amazing school counselors will be available at all CISD campuses should any students need them tomorrow.

Thanks for your understanding as we work to serve the teen students of CISD.

Game Over Presentation

Parents, please be aware CHS will be using Thursday and Friday, May 12 and May 13, to present our Game Over presentation to our students. This event will include a mock drunk driving car accident on May 12 and an assembly on May 13. The assembly will include a video presentation of the accident and an individual speaking on the consequences of drunk driving on her family.

If your child could have concerns with either of these presentations please contact the school at your earliest convenience. This presentation is certainly impactful on our kids, unfortunately drunk driving could have impacted one of our students previously and we do not want them to be impacted additionally with this presentation.
