This hands-on activity gave students a real-world look at microbiology while reinforcing the importance of proper cleaning, hand hygiene and infection prevention.
Today's participants include J.P. Willett of EH Construction, Ben Seiter of CMTA, Joe Hayes of REH, Carroll County Board of Education member Carolyn Jones, ATC Principal Kirk Brooks, ATC welding instructor Justin Tingle, Chief Financial Officer Jon Conrad and Chief Operations Officer Mark Willhoite. The project is expected to take one year to complete.
Livingood has worked with Carroll County Schools on multiple occasions from 2017 through 2019, including as interim superintendent and interim principal of CCHS and the Carroll County ATC.
“I adopted a whole new family down here,” Livingood said. "I think I’ve always gotten a bigger blessing being in Carroll County than any good I may have done.” Livingood, who retired as Grant County Schools superintendent in 2016, said he isn’t typically looking for a job, but “if the Lord sends an assignment my way I always try and do my best to help in a situation that a little bit of help might be needed.”
He will meet with the board at its June 25 meeting. Livingood said he wants to hear the board’s priorities and determine what they need from him. “I need to sit down and listen to the board and determine what needs they perceive. They’re the community so I’ll get a feel from them on what are some important things to do,” he added.
“I think the people in Carroll County are really good. I owe them my best effort until things get rolling and they’re able to get everybody in place for that district to run smoothly and the kids to get the greatest benefit,” Livingood said.
Students in the pre-nursing and certified clinical medical assistant programs at the Carroll County Area Technology Center trained to become CPR certified on adults and infants recently. They also learned how to administer the Heimlich maneuver and use an AED (automated external defibrillator) on adults and infants. Paige Lucas-Jamiel, who works at Shelby County EMS, led the training. (More photos on the District Facebook page.)

CCHS Project-Based Learning students Lillian Ball, Blake Harney, Laeton Fornash, Hunter Angell and Timmy Kidd have built an eight-foot wooden walkway/driving surface between the pond and the baseball field’s right field fence.This project, dubbed The Boardwalk, will allow extra room for mowers, golf carts and people to utilize that section of ground. It could also become part of the cross country course that has been created on the opposite end of the pond. The platform is a cantilever style with a handrail and ramps on each end. The goal for all PBL/WBL students is to attain 300 hours of successful employment and be considered career ready at graduation. Those students who are career ready receive a notation on their diploma and a cord to wear at graduation.
Hello Carroll County Families!! Summer is here and the children will be out of school looking for fun and exciting things to do with their time. We want to make sure that our students continue to receive balanced meals, so our Nutrition Department is offering 10-day meal boxes again this year. You can still sign up for the FREE food boxes!
The summer feeding program provides each child in Carroll County ages 18 and under with 10 breakfasts and 10 lunches as well as milk for each meal. All items are shelf stable, so they won't take up space in your refrigerator or freezer. Just click the link below and fill it out to get your children on the pick-up listing. There is space for four children, so if you have more, you will need to fill out the form another time to list the other children. Once you fill it out, you remain on the list for the entire summer feeding program. You do not need to complete a form for every pick-up event. Click here to register: https://forms.gle/F94DYi9o7NBkMPAUA
Meal box pick-up dates are: June 10, June 19, July 1, July 10, July 20, and July 31. Please go to the school site you selected on the registration form. Food services staff will distribute meals from 12-2 p.m. at Carroll County High School and 4-6 p.m. at Carroll County Middle School.
