Carroll County Middle School is kicking off an exciting new chapter by introducing the Leader in Me curriculum. The program is built to help students grow into confident, capable leaders. Based on Stephen Covey’s renowned 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, this initiative focuses on real-world skills like responsibility, goal-setting, and teamwork. Staff members have spent two full days in hands-on training with Amy Cordrey, preparing to bring these ideas to life in classrooms and across CCMS. Since Kathryn Winn Primary and Cartmell Elementary already use Leader in Me, many students will hit the ground running with concepts they know and recognize.
🏐Open gym and tryouts for the CCMS volleyball team have been scheduled. This is open to girls in fifth through eighth grades. A current sports physical is required.🏐
🌟Open house for fifth and sixth graders is ongoing at CCMS. Stop by until 6 p.m. to get your schedule and meet your teachers!🌟
The start of school is almost here! Staff will return to the buildings on Monday, Aug. 4, while students return on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
Panther families, if you are in need of a backpack, check out this offer from our local Verizon store.

Panther families, please see these flyers for information about open houses at the middle and high schools.
Panther families, we need your help to keep vital resources flowing into our schools. Before the new year begins, please take a few moments to complete the Household Income Form. Even though all Carroll County students receive free meals through the Community Eligibility Program, this form is still essential because it determines whether students qualify for free or reduced fees on things like courses and computer use. More importantly, it helps secure critical funding for programs like Title I and the Family Resources Youth Services Center (FRYSC), which supports our students every day. Submitting your form early not only benefits the district, but also saves our FRYSC team valuable time tracking down paperwork later. Thank you for making a difference!
