Thankful....
As the leaves continue to fall and pile up, it is a reminder that we are rapidly approaching a s season to be thankful and celebrate. It is a time to celebrate what students have accomplished and their success in the classroom, on the field, on the course or on the court. It is also a reminder to celebrate together the school community that we have.
Please take time over this season to thank the teachers and staff that support your students in and out of the classroom. It is amazing the number of teachers, staff and coaches that travel all over the state to cheer, support and encourage students beyond the classroom.
It is also a time to reflect and be thankful to all of the parents and volunteers who support our teams, bands and clubs as they perform and compete week in and week out.
There is so much to be thankful for as students, parents, staff and neighbors of Carroll High School. We are truly blessed!
Thank you for all that you do and your support.

Library News
Our library inventory and checkout system is managed electronically through a program called Destiny. Students and parents can log-in to Destiny at any time to view the library books that are currently checked-out and the past check-out history. Destiny access for each building can be accessed through the district website at https://destiny.nacs.k12.in.us/ .
In order to access Destiny, parents and students use their district username (the first five letters of their last names followed by the first three letters of their first names (i.e. Brian Johnson = johnsbri)) and the password that is used to log-in to their school computers.
Elementary students’ passwords consist of their student numbers followed by the first four letters of their teachers’ last names (first letter of teacher last name is capitalized (i.e 12345678John).
Secondary students’ passwords are unique to each student, and you can obtain this information from your child.
