Meet Tim Hawig - CHS Teacher of the Year

In the world of education, some teachers don’t just teach — they inspire. Tim Hawig, Carrollton High School’s Teacher of the Year, exemplifies this notion. His journey from a traveling occupational therapist to a passionate educator is a testament to the power of embracing one’s true passion.

CMS teacher receives "My Favorite Teacher" award

This summer, Southwire held a contest to support educators, offering a chance for teachers to win $500 as part of their 20th Annual Back to School Giveaway. Out of more than 300 nominees, Carrollton Middle School's very own Lexus Mitchell was among the 20 lucky winners. Today, she was surprised with a special check presentation in her classroom. Congratulations to Mrs. Mitchell on this well-deserved recognition!

Building musical skills at CUES

This week in music, Carrollton Upper Elementary School students enjoyed working on the xylophone. They focused on learning new notes and rhythms. They made progress while having fun! It was a productive session where their skills really started to shine.

Ranger's classroom watch — Encouraging good behavior and building trust

This year at Carrollton Elementary School, Ranger, the mini stuffed mascot of the Carrollton Police Department, will be visiting classrooms. School Resource Officer Halle Rosen will select a different class each Friday for Ranger to "watch over" students and encourage Trojan Gold behavior. At the end of the week, Officer Rosen will check in with the teacher to review the class's behavior. Well-behaved classes will be rewarded, and one standout student will receive special recognition. This initiative helps students understand that the police are there to support them while also promoting positive behavior.
