Eighth grade students received academic and some special awards during a ceremony this morning. The eighth grade graduation will be held tomorrow at 1 p.m. in the CCMS gymnasium. Tickets are required for the event.
Today we celebrate our Lunch Heroes! Thank you for your dedication and hard work. Cartmell Elementary third graders are pictured with the thank you notes they wrote. We appreciate you!
Eighth grade students in the gifted and talented program took a field trip to the Carroll County Extension Office recently. They learned about healthy eating habits, how to properly measure ingredients, cut vegetables and made their own pizzas, salad and dessert. (Additional photos will be posted on the Carroll County School District Facebook page.)
The Carroll County Middle School and Carroll County High School bands performed Friday in their annual spring concert. The CCMS Winter Guard also participated.
CCMS students got pumped up before they begin standardized testing next week. Students dressed in their house colors and played a game of Jeopardy. Principal Dr. Robin Stephenson shared the school's status compared to neighboring counties and encouraged the students to do better and beat their border rivals this year.
Carroll County students continue to excel in technology with another group of students preparing for the state STLP competition in Lexington next week. CCMS is sending two students this year.

Kevin Zuniga, Johnathan Pirtle, Ivan Turner, Elias Cardoso, Hailey Pyrtle, Keyla Hernandez, Allen Wainscott and Kyla Roland all competed at the initial level of STLP (Student Technology Leadership Program).

Nikola Tesla visited the Carroll County Middle School today. He spoke about his studies, dreams, employment and creation of the theory of alternating current. Tesla's alternating current was controversial at its inception, but permeates nearly all electrical devices today. Tesla was portrayed by Chris Logan Carter of the Children's Theatre of Cincinnati.
Members of the Carroll County Middle School's environmental club have launched a paper recycling project in their school.
Eighth grade social studies students created time capsules about issues from centuries ago, but put a modern twist on them.
They have studied George Washington, John Adams, Andrew Jackson, the election of 1800, the first political parties and the War of 1812 over the past couple of weeks. In culmination, they made the time capsules. The capsules had to include six pieces, one thing from each unit.
Students made artifacts, such as a campaign button that would have represented what a member of the Federalist party wore. Others created wanted posters and a few made whiskey bottles reflective of Washington’s whiskey rebellion.
The entire school was invited to view the exhibits and had a worksheet to complete. The modern piece of the time capsules included QR codes that led students to Google Docs to find the answers to the question on the worksheet.
Next week, April 3rd through 7th, will be our Spring Break! Students, enjoy your week off! We'll be excited to see you back on the 10th.
We're thrilled to announce the new app for CC Schools! It's

The Carroll County Middle School eighth grade band competed in the Concert Band Festival yesterday. The seventh grade band and the Carroll County High School band will also compete. Each band is graded and is given instruction time with a guest conductor.
Sixth and seventh grade students in the CCMS gifted and talented program are using their strengths to become architects.
The students are recreating the Colosseum, Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Brandenburg Gate. They used popsicle sticks and hot glue guns to erect the landmarks. The students also had to choose how to share the research they collected, such as creating a poster or a brochure, and had to write and deliver a speech about it as well.
Band students from CCMS and CCHS will perform March 9 as a precursor to their annual band festival.
The seventh grade will perform at 5:30 p.m., high school concert band at 6 p.m., eighth grade at 6:30 p.m. and the high school’s symphonic band at 7 p.m. Guest directors will also be on hand to give the students feedback about their performance. These mini concerts are open to the public and will take place in the CCMS auditorium
