The students had a busy day exploring several programs, including:
Learning the basics of CPR 🩺
Examining bacteria in petri dishes 🧫
Using air hoses in the automotive class 🏎️
Working together on a floor game 🤝

❤️🎈 Valentine’s Day Reminder for Families 🎈❤️
As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, we want to remind families that students are not permitted to take balloons, glass vases, or any object that blocks the aisle/exits on the school bus. These items can create safety concerns and distractions during transportation.
Please do not send these types of gifts to school with your child. If you would like to surprise your student, we encourage small items that can easily fit inside their backpack. 💌🎁
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and our buses running smoothly! 🚌💛

🩺✨ February is Career & Technical Education (CTE) Month! ✨🩺
This month, we’re proud to spotlight students who are gaining hands-on, real-world skills that can lead directly to careers after graduation.
Students in the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant program at the Carroll County Area Technology Center are learning what it takes to succeed in a medical setting. These students are building skills that truly matter, including practicing CPR, taking blood pressure, administering injections, drawing blood, and using EKG machines.
👏 We celebrate these future healthcare professionals and the dedication they’re showing as they prepare for life beyond the classroom.

Work is continuing for construction of a new welding workshop and classroom at the Carroll County Area Technology Center. Members of the design team were on site recently to discuss details and tour the ATC. The addition is being funded by a $5 million grant from the School Facilities Construction Commission. Once complete, this will mean 80 students in the five-county region can study welding at the ATC.
The new 5,500-square-foot welding workshop will be built at the end of the existing school building. Plans include 20 state-of-the-art welding stations, dedicated classroom space, a CNC plasma cutting station, and other hands-on learning areas that reflect the tools and technologies used in the welding field.
Construction is anticipated to begin by July 1 and take approximately one year to complete.
