Carroll County High School students will transform the gym into a science exhibition hall on Thursday, Jan. 8 as they present their culminating work for the Ecosystem Evolution: Animals and Human Impact project. The showcase is the final component of an in-depth, multi-unit study led by science teacher Jason Fishel.
Throughout the semester, students explored how ecosystems function, how organisms adapt over time, and how human activities influence species’ survival. Each student selected an animal species and conducted a comprehensive investigation into its evolutionary history, habitat, and current conservation concerns.
As part of this project, students researched how their chosen species evolved from ancestral forms, how it fits into its ecosystem, and how human actions such as habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and overhunting have altered its population.
The event highlights the hard work and scientific thinking of CCHS students and celebrates their ability to communicate meaningful solutions to environmental challenges.
The Ecosystem Evolution Showcase is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 2:20 p.m. in the CCHS gym. Community members, parents, and district leaders are encouraged to attend and support these young scientists as they share their research and insights into protecting Earth’s biodiversity. Please bring your driver’s license or identification card to sign in at the front office.

Students from Carroll County High School’s Young Leaders Institute recently stepped inside Carrollton City Hall for an immersive, behind-the-scenes look at local government and public service careers available right here in their community.
During the visit, students heard directly from Mayor Robb Adams, who provided an overview of city government and how local leadership impacts day-to-day life. Police Chief Michael Willhoite and members of the city’s public safety team shared insights into law enforcement and emergency services, allowing students to explore a police cruiser and fire truck while learning firsthand about the responsibilities and rewards of public safety careers. Representatives from other city offices also highlighted the wide range of professional pathways available within municipal government.
In addition to learning about city operations, students participated in a class focused on workplace communication, emphasizing the importance of clear, professional, and effective communication across all careers.
The Young Leaders Institute, open to high school juniors and seniors through an application process, is designed to cultivate future leaders by exposing students to leadership, civic engagement, and career exploration. Participants take part in field experiences throughout the school year and conclude the program with a capstone project that applies what they have learned to real-world challenges.
