COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Along with providing community-
based schools and state-of-the-art
facilities, the Carroll County School
System recognizes the importance of
integrating community, education and
industry. The District partners with the
University of West Georgia andWest
Georgia Technical College to offer dual
enrollment programs to high school
students seeking post-secondary
opportunities as they fulfill graduation
requirements. Carroll County students
choose from academic and/or career
tracks and follow an individualized
learning program designed to develop
their interests and prepare them for
further education.
Additionally, the 12 for Life program, a
partnership with the Southwire Company,
is an important part of ongoing efforts
to prepare students for the workforce.
The program provides job experience
and academic support in a Southwire
manufacturing facility. 12 for Life has
received national recognition, and
the Carroll County School System was
awarded a five year, three-million-dollar
Innovation Grant to further enhance
the program in the areas of science,
technology, engineering and math
(STEM).
