Another title for the Girls Lacrosse team! Carroll defeated O'Hara 20-6, on May 20, to win their 19th consecutive PCL title.
"When you add it all up, it’s really about much more than 19 Catholic League championships," said Carroll Coach Lorraine Beers. "The driving force behind those 19 seasons and 19 championships is the more than 500 Archbishop Carroll Girls Lacrosse players who have demanded excellence on the field, worked hard in the classroom, and have been a part of something very special. I am so grateful to be coaching these athletes and helping them reach their full potential."

Selective Service Registration
Within 30 days of his 18th birthday, every male citizen and legal resident is required to register for Selective Service, either by filling out a postcard-size form or going online. Men who fail to register for the draft by then can no longer do so – forever closing the door to government benefits like student aid, a government job, or even U.S. citizenship.
Letters of Recommendation
Juniors are reminded to ask at least two teachers for a letter of recommendation in person prior to school ending this year and send a request through Naviance. Be sure to update your resume in Naviance as well.
Juniors should continue researching and visiting colleges. Guidance highly recommends that juniors begin completing college applications in August and submit applications early in the fall. Application deadlines start as early as Oct. 15. Application deadlines vary by college. Be sure to check each school for their deadlines.
Freshmen and sophomores are encouraged to update their resumes in Naviance and begin researching colleges. College visits are also recommended.
