Hello Panther family! Rumors have been circulating on social media and among the CCHS student body that a threat has been made toward the high school for Monday. The high school administration and School Resource Officer team began addressing this rumor on Friday. There is no credible threat to CCHS at this time.
Today is School Communicators Day! At Carroll County Schools, we’re fortunate to have an incredible communications team that goes above and beyond every day. Under the leadership of Jennifer Willhoite, Director of Public Relations, this team works tirelessly to highlight the amazing work happening across our district and to keep our community informed and connected.
Please excuse this graphic made by the Director of Technology. He's definitely not a graphic design expert, unlike Jennifer and our communications team.

Hello Panther Family! As our district continues to grow and improve, we recognize that effective communication is essential. It's a key part of all four foundations in our strategic planning process—and your input is critical. We want to better understand how you prefer to receive information, what topics matter most to you, how often you’d like to hear from us, and other important aspects of communication. This survey is designed for parents/guardians, students, staff, administration and community members to share their perspectives. The feedback we gather will directly shape our communication strategies and guide the development of action steps within our strategic plan. Your voice matters in helping us move forward together. Thank you in advance for your time and input. We will share the results of the survey after it closes on May 24. Please use the link below to access the survey. https://forms.gle/iMHNKG7jWvhAier97
