CCS holds district-wide safety drill

To support ongoing efforts to ensure school safety, Carrollton City Schools held a system-wide emergency preparedness drill event earlier this week. The drill had three parts — fire drill, severe weather drill, and lockdown drill. Conducting drills is an important part of our school safety plan. 

Sixth grade students from Carrollton Upper Elementary School visited Washington, DC in May on the grade-level good behavior trip. Students enjoyed the National Mall among many other historic sites during their stay. The CCS Education Foundation provided support to send students on the field trip who otherwise could not have afforded it.
