Message from the Superintendent
This publication is designed to help students and parents develop a carefully planned education program for middle school. This plan should be based on established graduation requirements and should reflect the interests of the student. Approved course offerings available in Carroll County middle schools are identified. Each school develops its program from these course offerings.
Students are encouraged to develop an educational program that clearly prepares them to enter a postsecondary education program and prepares them to enter their chosen field of work. Parents, teachers, and counselors need to assist students in developing an educational plan that takes advantage of the comprehensive academic, career and technology, and fine and practical arts course offerings. It is essential for the plan to assure that all state course and competency testing graduation requirements are met.
Today's students face a much more complex and challenging world. As a school system, it is our responsibility to make sure that they are acquiring the skills they will need to be successful. By focusing our efforts on good instruction and by making sure students are provided with a supportive environment, we can assure that they will be successful.
Best wishes to all of our students as they prepare for the challenges of middle school.
