The CCHS senior parents organized a Senior Sunrise breakfast for the Class of 2027 this morning. Nearly 70 seniors enjoyed breakfast and celebrating their last first day of school even though it was a stormy start to the day! Thank you to the parents who took time to honor our CCHS seniors on their special day.
Seniors and senior parents, please follow CCHS Panthers Class of 2027 Facebook page for updates on future events.

Welcome back to school! We're so excited to welcome students back on the first day of the 2026-2027 school year. It may have been a rainy start to the day, but we saw so many smiles from staff and students.

Carroll County Schools is excited to start the school year on a positive note. We want to remind our families about the importance of students wearing and using their student ID badges each day.
Student badges are an important part of our district’s commitment to safety, security, and efficiency. They help us:
• Quickly identify students
• Improve safety and accountability on our school buses
• Accurately identify students entering and exiting buses
• Support a safe and secure school environment
• Help our daily routines run smoothly and efficiently
We appreciate our students and families making it a habit to bring and use their badge every day.
Need a badge? No problem! If your student has lost or misplaced their badge, please contact their school for a replacement badge at no cost.
Thank you for partnering with Carroll County Schools as we work together to keep our students safe, secure, and ready for a great school year!

Carroll County Schools staff showed up for today’s Opening Day Experience ready to bring the Panther Pride!
The traditional first day of school for approximately 300 staff members was filled with fun, laughter, singing, dancing and, of course, a little food and flavored lemonade along the way. It was a chance to celebrate the people who make Carroll County Schools such a special place and get everyone energized for the year ahead.
The Opening Day Experience was planned and executed by an incredible team. There are far too many people to name, but we want to say thank you to everyone who helped make today happen. Your time, creativity and hard work made this a memorable start to the school year.
The 2026-2027 school year is officially underway, and we are off to a great start! We are One District. One Family. One Panther.🖤💛
(More photos from today’s Opening Day Experience can be found on the District Facebook page. Many of today's photos are courtesy of CCHS students Keeley Stucker and Emily Laib. Several staff members also contributed.)

The Carroll County Schools cross country teams have announced their schedule. Join us in supporting these student athletes during their competitions.
Carroll County High School staff kicked off the 2026-2027 school year with a travel-themed pep rally that had everyone ready for takeoff.
Captain Henderson had the controls, while flight attendants, Mrs. Neff, Mrs. Lewellyn and Ms. Ball, made sure every passenger was ready for takeoff, handing out tickets to laughter, friendly competition and plenty of Panther pride.
There was no turbulence on this flight, just dancing, games, cheering and lots of laughter as the CCHS team celebrated one another before students return. The event set the tone for a positive, encouraging school culture where staff support one another and build strong relationships. (More photos and videos on the District Facebook page.)

If you've ever been to Senior Startup at Carroll County High School, you know it's one of the best places to catch a few behind-the-scenes laughs.
Every incoming senior leaves with a polished yearbook portrait that looks like it belongs on the cover of a magazine.
What you don't see is everything happening just outside the camera frame.
The tuxedo shirts? They're completely open in the back and go on more like an apron than an actual shirt. It's the original "business on the top, casual on the bottom" look. The jackets come in a variety of sizes that can leave students scratching their heads, but somehow the Strawbridge Studios staff can size you up with one quick glance. There are only a handful of bow ties making the rounds, so yes, everyone gets a turn with the same one for a few minutes.
The young ladies wear the traditional black velvet drape for their portraits. Since one size definitely does not fit all, the drapes are often secured in the back with binder clips. If they choose, they can also add a classic strand of pearls to complete the look. Just like the bow ties, it's the very same necklace making its way from one senior to the next throughout the day. Our very first senior this year confidently slipped her drape on, only to announce that it was a skirt because it reached all the way to her waist. Thanks to Mom and the Strawbridge staff, it was quickly turned the right way, clipped into place and transformed into a beautiful senior portrait.
It's just another reminder that yearbook photos are a little bit of movie magic. What looks elegant and effortless in the final picture is often held together with binder clips, shared bow ties, one well-traveled strand of pearls, a little creativity and plenty of laughter behind the scenes.
Enjoy a few of our favorite "what's really happening" moments from Senior Startup! And stay tuned for more photos from Senior Startup on the District Facebook page.
