Construction of a 42,582 S.F. Performing Arts
Center is also underway to be located behind
the Board of Education office and fronting Old
Newnan Road. The Performing Arts Center is
designed to seat 1,100 people in a modern,
technologically advanced setting, and it will be
the most acoustically calibrated performance
facility of its kind in the west Georgia area.
The Performing Arts Center will provide students
with a venue to showcase their talents in music
and other fine arts programs. Construction on
the Performing Arts Center is scheduled for
completion in the spring of 2017.
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 and West 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 learn-
ing program designed to develop their interests
and prepare them for further education.
Additionally, the 12 for Life program, a partner-
ship with the Southwire Company, is an impor-
tant part of ongoing efforts to prepare students
for the workforce. The program provides job ex-
perience and academic support in a Southwire
manufacturing facility. 12 for Life has received
national recognition, and the Carroll County
School System was recently awarded a two-year,
seven hundred thousand dollar Innovation Grant
to further enhance the program in the areas
of science, technology, engineering and math
(STEM).
Teaching, Learning, Leading
The Carroll County School System is commit-
ted to providing excellence in premier learning
environments and to develop globally competi-
tive college and career ready graduates. The
District takes pride in the impact it has on the
citizens of Carroll County and is focused on the
long-term success of the students, staff and
communities it serves.

School System, contact the superintendent’s of-
