Carroll High School Weekly Community Newsletter

Message From The Principal

Greetings Carroll Community,

Last week was a great week for Carroll High School and our entire Carroll Community. It marked the end of the 6-week period and the start of Tiger Time at Carroll High School. Many students expressed their appreciation for the extra time during the school day to catch up on work, attend tutoring, and explore different clubs and interests that they wouldn't have been able to do before or after school. I want to thank the entire Carroll faculty, staff, and students for their efforts to provide more opportunities for students to engage with the school and be involved on campus.

I also want to highlight our football victory in Calallen, the first in school history. It was an exciting night, and we want to keep the ball rolling! This week, we play Tuloso Midway here at home. We have a themed dress week and a pep rally to lead up to the big game on Friday.

As always, thank you for your support. You are the reason why we do what we do. We are committed to taking care of your children as if they were our own, and all of our decisions are based on that principle. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead. It's a great time to be a Tiger! #TPND #WeAreCarroll

Your Proud Principal,

Mr. Arredondo
