3 MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT Welcome to the Carroll County School System! Our vision is to be recognized as a premier school district and our purpose is to positively change lives. In order to meet and exceed the expectations of all those we serve, our district is steadfast in our commitment to focusing on learning, maximizing our talent, providing premier experiences, serving our communities, and practicing good stewardship. By having a unified vision and sustainable solutions to propel our system forward, the achievements during the school year were truly premier. The district graduation rate of 90% was the highest in the history of Carroll County Schools, our CTAE students won 11 state championships, and Georgia Milestone scores for Carroll County elementary, middle, and high schools surpassed the state average. Additionally, the District continued to build community partnerships, increase technology, and enhance facilities throughout the system. We believe these efforts will create premier learning environments for all students and will enable them to graduate college and career ready. Thank you for choosing Carroll County School System. Together we can positively change lives! Scott K. Cowart Scott K. Cowart 1

14 The annual Crossing the Tracks tradition began with the Temple Middle School eighth grade class crossing over the tracks to their next phase of education at Temple High School. Since that initial event on May 22, 2012, the Crossing the Tracks event has become not only an important transition process, but a community celebration where the eighth grade students are presented to the high school principal on top of the tracks. Then they proceed to the high school in a parade-like fashion with Sage Street lined with families and community members wishing them well and capturing the moment. The students are welcomed at Temple High School with the Temple High School Band playing the fight song and students and staff cheering them into the gymnasium where Mr. Gribben and several high school students provide a glimpse into the upcoming year. The assembly consists of students talking about their experiences at Temple High School and the teachers/administrators talking about the expectations for ninth grade students. The event concludes with the rising ninth graders signing a banner where they commit to graduating from high school and a final resounding cheer of It s A Great Day to Be A Tiger! 12
