Mary Carroll High School

🚨 Exciting Update from Ms. Jensen’s US History Class! 🚨 Today, our students participated in a unique and engaging activity: Antebellum Reformers Speed Dating! 🗣️✉️ Students took on the roles of key historical figures from the Antebellum period, including abolitionists, women's rights activists, and social reformers. Through quick-paced, interactive "dates," they had the chance to communicate their ideas, struggles, and contributions to one another. Not only was it a fun way to learn, but they really nailed the art of historical communication! 💬 Big kudos to Ms. Jensen’s students for their creativity and enthusiasm in bringing history to life. They’re mastering the power of conversation and understanding complex social movements all at once. Keep up the amazing work! 🙌📚 #TPND #WeAreCarroll #USHistory #AntebellumReformers #SpeedDating #HistoryInAction #MsJensensClass

As we celebrate CTE Month, we are incredibly proud to highlight the exceptional Career and Technical Education programs here at Carroll High School.

Whether it's through hands-on training, leadership roles in clubs, or community involvement, our students are making a lasting impact in both the classroom and beyond. CTE Month is a time to recognize the achievements of our students, the importance of career readiness, and the opportunities these programs provide for lifelong success. We are proud of everything our Tigers are accomplishing and are excited for all that lies ahead. Happy CTE Month to all, and go Tigers!

🔬 AP Physics in Action! ⚙️ Mrs. Kimbrough’s AP Physics 1 students were hard at work investigating rotational inertia in a hands-on lab! 🌀⚡️ By experimenting with a variety of objects, they explored how mass distribution affects an object’s resistance to rotational motion. Love seeing our Tigers dive into real-world physics concepts through engaging, interactive learning! 🏆💡 #STEMinAction #PhysicsInMotion #TPND #WeAreCarroll 🐯🔬

💙 Boosting Self-Esteem, One Positive Note at a Time with Mr. Galan's Class! 💙 Check out these snapshots from our Paper Fight Words of Affirmation activity! ✨ As part of our self-esteem and mental health unit, students had a blast safely tossing paper for two minutes before opening them up to find a positive message to share with a classmate. This fun and engaging activity helped reinforce the power of kind words and encouragement, reminding our students that positivity makes a difference! 💬💖 #MentalHealthMatters #WordsOfAffirmation #TPND #WeAreCarroll 🐯📢

🎬✨ Bringing Stories to Life with Animatics in Mr. Vargas' Class! 🎨🎞️ Our students just wrapped up an Animatic Assignment, where they created storyboards—a series of still frames that, when played back, bring their stories to life! 🖌️📽️ To showcase their creativity, students had the option to use traditional or digital art, with some taking advantage of the drawing tablets I lent out. It was amazing to see their artistic talents shine! 🌟 Storyboards and animatics are the same tools used in professional animation studios like Disney, Nickelodeon, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros., and Paramount—giving our students real-world experience in the art of storytelling. As someone passionate about animation, Mr. Vargas was beyond excited to see what they could create! 🎉 Who knows? We may have some future animators in the making! #TPND #WeAreCarroll #CarrollCreatives #StudentAnimators #Storyboarding #FutureFilmmakers
