Carroll County Schools students recently competed in the Young Georgia Authors Writing Competition for kindergarten through 12th grade. This competition celebrates the creative and academic efforts of students in any genre of writing, including poetry, short stories, journalism, research, literary analysis, argument, and more. School winners at each grade level were submitted for system-level judging. System winners move on to the regional competition. Congratulations to these young authors for their achievement!
