Day One
Day One, our orientation for Freshman and Transfer students is on Wednesday, August 31. This orientation is a great opportunity to meet new classmates, meet some of our upperclassmen and student ambassadors, tour our campus and become familiar with your class schedule.
Day One begins at 2:00pm. A barbeque for families will be provided afterward from 5:00pm-7:00pm. To view the full flyer, please click HERE.
Senior Portraits
Last call for senior portrait re-takes. If your child requires a re-take for a senior portrait, appointments can be scheduled directly through the Lifetouch office in Bensalem by calling 1(800) 687-9327. This must be done by August to ensure that the picture will be included in next year's yearbook.
Archbishop Carroll Theatre Society Auditions
ACTS is thrilled to announce that our Fall production will be Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods.
Auditions for Into the Woods will be on Thursday August 18th, beginning at 3:00pm, in the Auditorium. Callbacks will be the following day, August 19, in the auditorium. Rehearsals will begin Monday, August 22. Production dates are November 17, 18, 19 & 20.
For auditions, please prepare 16-32 bars of a song that highlights your vocal part. Sondheim's style is specific and unique, so please choose a song that fits Sondheim's style. Sheet music is preferred, as an accompanist will be provided, but it is not mandatory. Also, please wear or bring clothes that allow movement, as there may be a choreography section of the audition.
If you have any questions please e-mail [email protected]. Click HERE for more show info. A list of Stephen Sondeim's work can be found HERE.

Mandatory Physical Examination
Archbishop Carroll High School requires a physical examination, including all immunizations, for all new students to Carroll (Class of 2020 and Transfer Students) and all eleventh graders (Class of 2018). Physical Examination forms are due before the first day of school this September 2016; however, I will accept physicals NOW for next year. Examinations done by a family physician within one year prior to the opening of the school term are acceptable by state regulations. Please note, the sports physical [PIAA] form IS NOT interchangeable with the Health Office physical form.
Please keep me informed of any medical changes, treatments or immunizations that your child has received, so that his/her health record is current. Up-to-date information is essential in an emergency situation.
It is advisable for any parent whose child has specific health concerns to schedule an appointment or have a phone conversation with me before the start of school. Any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail:
Click HERE to access the physical form. You can also download it from our website. Click on the Nurse tab of the menu and download the physical form.

From International Education Opportunities
|
|
Global Connections, the homestay division of International Education Opportunities, is seeking Archbishop Carroll families to become hosts for our international students during the 2016-2017 school year!
Sharing your home with an international student is an excellent way for you and your family to learn about a new culture while sharing your family traditions with someone new. Host families are paid $1,100/month to help offset the cost of having another person in the household.
Hosts are asked to treat students like members of their own families and to involve them in the daily routine of the home. Hosts provide a private bedroom, meals, and school transportation. Most importantly, they are expected to provide a stable, caring environment.
