The CCHS food pantry is collecting food for students. Their needs include meat products, such as hamburger, hot dogs or sausage, that can be frozen and sent home with students. Pop tarts, ravioli and single serve items are also popular. Donations can be taken to the high school.
CCMS gathered its seventh graders this morning for their opportunity to bury their negatives and look forward to success on its Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) testing next week. Students dropped the negatives into a time capsule then got a fist bump from their teachers and administrators.
Principal Dr. Robin Stephenson showed the students how our neighbors in Gallatin, Henry and Owen scored on their testing last year compared to Carroll County.
“We’re done with red. We will no longer be in red,” she said to the crowd. “I am confident this year we’re going all the way from red to yellow.” The school has made its testing motto “Hello, Yellow 2024.”
“I believe in you and I know you’re going to do your best on Friday,” Stephenson said.
Students in each grade are going through the same process this week. The time capsule with all the negatives will be buried on the school grounds on Thursday.
Sixth grade students at Carroll County Middle School committed to do their best when Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) testing begins next week. Each class at CCMS will drop their negative thoughts in a time capsule, which will be buried on Thursday. Students received a fist bump from their teachers as well as school and district administrators.
These young ladies exhibited some girl power recently at Carroll County High School! Lauren Beatty, with the aid of Jeff Fremin, fixed a sink in the school nurse's office. Project Based Learning students Lizeth Aguilar, Ruby Atilano Zarate and Mercedes Sanchez put together a bench that will rest in the memorial garden to the side of the high school.
Carroll County Middle School students were challenged to stick to a budget as part of the 4-H Dollars & Sense Program.
The students were given $200 to pay for their expenses based on their current age. They visited 15 booths for expenses ranging from decorating their rooms, caring for a pet or buying products or services they want. They do not have to pay for housing.
4-H volunteers and student members led the event with the help of Joyce Doyle, 4-H youth development agent.
The goal of the program is to teach that budgeting is not an easy task and it is important to learn the difference between what a person wants versus what they actually need.
Today's baseball and softball games have been cancelled. Both are rescheduled for tomorrow at 6 p.m. Join us at Panther Field to cheer on these student athletes!

As a collaboration between CCHS teacher Cheri Mann and Todd Mitchell, VP of Administration and Procurement at NAS, a group of students toured the plant on Monday, talked to some employees from other countries, and were treated to lunch. It was a great opportunity for students to see the local production of stainless steel from a great community partner.
Good luck to our jazz band that is participating in the KMEA festival today!
The Senior Class of 2024 was honored at a parent-sponsored dinner last night. The event was supported by a number of community partners, including North American Stainless, which paid for the catered meal. Other partners include Searcy Monuments, Rand Insurance, Carrollton Family Dentistry, Nucor Steel, Holiday Inn Express, Kentucky Farm Bureau, Dorman Products, PMC, Raisor Zapp and Woods, Can Do Maintenance, Owen Electric, Kemper Construction, Gallatin Nursing & Rehab, Farmer’s Bank of Milton, Marshall Chevrolet, Edward Jones - Nicholas Schaefer, Mortenson Dental and Gaddie Eye Center.
Each senior who attended received a gift, ranging from cash to a TV to a basket full of items for a dorm room. The organizers credited community support and corporate donations as the reason every student could receive a prize.
The parent group organized multiple functions for the seniors throughout the year, including a senior sunrise breakfast, bonfire and movie night, scavenger hunt, ice cream sundae event, tailgating at the high school and field day. The fun will continue through the last week of school. (More photos on the District Facebook page.)
Fifth graders at Carroll County Middle School committed to doing their best on the upcoming Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) testing this morning. They dropped slips of paper with their worries and concerns into a time capsule that will be buried at CCMS later this week.
CCMS Principal Dr. Robin Stephenson showed students what our neighbors in Owen, Gallatin and Henry scored on their KSA testing last year and challenged the students to beat them this year.
“We’re no longer going to say we can’t do that,” Stephenson said. “We’re burying that. We’re getting rid of the ‘I can’t’ for CCMS today.”
She encouraged the students to realize they are no different than their counterparts at Owen, Gallatin and Henry and they are just as capable of scoring high on the KSA test.
Each student received a fist bump from the fifth grade teachers as well as school and district administrators.
The senior class claimed victory in the Powder Buff volleyball game yesterday! (More photos on the District Facebook page.)

Susan Mills, a mom, author and illustrator, spoke to third grade students at Cartmell Elementary School recently. They read her book “Alex, the Awesome and Artsy Allosaurus” together.
Alex is a dinosaur who has some anxiety issues. Mills spoke to the children about being anxious and some ways they could calm themselves, including breathing techniques. They also made a pinky promise to talk to someone if they were feeling anxious or needed help.
“We are all different and that is awesome,” Mills said.
Cartmell teacher Natalie Abbott is studying for a Master of Library Science degree and learned about a program called School Days. The Kentucky Book Festival and Kentucky Humanities provide the author and books to the schools at no charge. Each child receives a signed copy of the author’s book.
