The Carrollton R-VII School District is aware of the potential threats to area school districts as possible targets for school shootings. Our district has not been identified as of now. However, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We have been in contact with our local law enforcement agencies to ensure proactive strategies are in place. Those agencies may be present around campus so please do not be alarmed by their presence.
Again, no immediate threat has been made to our district. We will continue to take precautions to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Thank you, Dr. Croy, Superintendent Carrollton School District.
On Wednesday, September 4 the Ambulance will be parked at the Career Center for the Health Occupations students to look around inside and learn about that career opportunities as an EMT or Paramedic.

Starting the year off right! Over the past two days, all Carrollton Area Career Center students received CPR training, and we're proud to announce that 78 students have earned their CPR and First Aid certification! 🎉
A huge thank you to Carroll County Memorial Hospital for their generous donation to cover certification expenses for all students, and to Abbie Backes, RN, and Amanda Riley, RN, for their time and expertise in certifying our students.
This certification is invaluable across all industries. Knowing CPR and First Aid helps prepare students to handle emergencies safely and confidently, making them an asset in any workplace or community setting. These essential skills can make a critical difference, whether they are working in construction, education, hospitality, or any other field.
Congratulations to our students on this important achievement! 🌟 #CACC #educateachievesucceed #CareerReady

🌸🎨 A Labor of Love 🌼✨
Senior welding student Emily Sprouse crafted metal flowers to give her friends and family as a memento of her time at the career center! 🛠🌹
Emily started with 60 washers and a few rods. From bending the washers to sorting out how many to use for each petal, it's been a journey of creativity and precision. So far she has created 8 small flowers, each with 6 delicate petals. Excellent job Emily on your vibrant, blooming welding creation.
🌹🔥 Welding student spotlight! Kamden Lightfoot amazed us with his latest creation: a stunning rose crafted from 32 individual pieces. He meticulously shaped each part, forged the stem, and welded it all together – just in time for prom! 🎉 Talk about putting skills to work! Kamden, your creativity is truly inspiring. Keep shining bright! 💫 #CACC #CACCWelding #educateachievesucceed #prom2024
