Carroll High School Weekly Community Newsletter
Message From The Principal
Greetings Carroll Community,
It will be an exciting week for us here at Carroll High School! This Wednesday, we invite everybody to our Open House Night, which will start at 5:30 in the Arena. Also, this week, we start TIGER TIME (Power Hour)! This has been in the works since the end of last year, with our students advocating for this amazing opportunity for more engagement in club organizations and participation. Our staff and our campus advisory team is fully on board, our plans have been set, and we are ready to roll this week. Take a look at the resources below and talk to your tiger about their experiences during TIGER TIME. We look forward to all the positive change that increased student engagement in school activities will bring!
As always, thank you for your support. I hope you have a wonderful week, and we'll see you on Wednesday in the Arena for open house! #TPND #WeAreCarroll
Your Proud Principal,
Mr. Arredondo
