Carroll High School Weekly Community Newsletter
Message From The Principal
Greetings Carroll Fam,
High school football in Texas is not just a sport; it’s part of our cultural fabric, and here at Carroll it brings together our community and allows us to showcase our Tiger Pride! This week, countless hours of preparation will be on display as we kick off the season at Cabaniss on Friday at 7 pm vs. Alice. Our band, cheerleaders, Tigerettes, flag corps, trainers, managers, NJROTC, clubs, and organizations, along with coaches, teachers, sponsors, and staff will start the season with excitement and anticipation! It’s such a special time of year for high schools across Texas and I know our Tiger Pride will be on full display.
We invite you to show up and get loud as you cheer our boys on the field and enjoy all of the performances and festivities that "Friday Night Lights" brings! This Friday, 7 PM at Cabaniss IS THE PLACE TO BE!
Wishing you a great week ahead Tiger Fam! #TPND #WeAreCarroll
Your Proud Principal,
Mr. Arredondo
