System is committed to excellence and focused on success

Community-Based Schools

The Carroll County School System has school sites that are

conveniently located throughout the county. This approach

creates a family-oriented atmosphere for students to learn,

grow and succeed. Community-based schools also provide

opportunities for employees and administrators to be en-

gaged in the community and to foster a close connection with

the families they serve.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

From advanced technology in the classrooms to newly con-

structed gymnasiums students in the Carroll County School

System have access to premier facilities districtwide.

The Carroll County School System is currently engaged in the

construction of its second College and Career Academy site

to be located next to Villa Rica High School. When the North

College and Career Academy campus opens in August 2016

Carroll County will be the only district in Georgia to have two

College and Career Academy sites to serve students.

The College and Career Academy is a technical and career-

focused charter school serving all five county high schools.

The academy offers fifteen different programs of study, four

of which are college level programs allowing students to earn

concurrent high school and college credit. Performance-

based instruction and college level coursework coupled with

business partnerships uniquely prepare students for post-

secondary education and the expectations of business and

industry.
