Carroll County Schools

At the close of the school year, I am excited to update you on some of the many facility improvements we are working on for next school year and beyond.

Thanks to the support of Carroll County voters and taxpayers, our SPLOST for education continues to support facility improvements and additions that directly impact the quality of academics, arts, athletics and activities that our students enjoy. The Carroll County Board of Education has created a 10-year facility master plan for each school campus which you can view or download from our website. I encourage you to explore these master plans to get more information about our overall preparation to expand and enhance each school over the next decade.

A major reconstruction project for Glanton-Hindsman Elementary School begins this summer and is scheduled to open in August of 2027.

This is a major project to modernize one of our oldest campuses as we accommodate growth in the northeastern portion of Carroll County.
