Charger Nation

As we open the doors to another exciting school year, I want to extend a warm welcome to both our returning families and those joining us for the first time. This year promises to be one of growth, connection, and opportunity as we continue building upon the strong foundation of excellence at Carroll High School.

Our theme for the year—Equip. Empower. Elevate.—reflects our commitment to preparing students with the tools they need to succeed, empowering them to take ownership of their learning, and encouraging them to rise to new challenges in and out of the classroom. With our ongoing renovations and expansion, we are literally and figuratively constructing a future that meets the needs of our growing community.

The first days of school are filled with energy, optimism, and the promise of what lies ahead. We encourage students to get involved, ask questions, and embrace each opportunity to learn and grow. Together—with the dedication of our staff, the support of our families, and the hard work of our students—we will make this year a remarkable one.

Thank you for your trust, partnership, and commitment to the Carroll High School community. Here’s to a fantastic start to the 2025–2026 school year!

With Charger Pride,

Mr. Million

As we begin the new school year, we want to ensure that everyone’s arrival and dismissal is safe, smooth, and efficient. Please review the following reminders:

• Student Drivers – All student drivers must enter and exit the Carroll High School campus from Bethel Road only. This helps reduce congestion and keeps traffic moving safely.

• Parent Drop-Off & Pick-Up – Parents should use the Carroll Road entrance and follow the designated parent lane. Please pull all the way forward before stopping to drop off your student. Once cars come to a complete stop, students should exit quickly and safely, using the sidewalk to enter the building.

• Alternate Pick-Up Location – Parents may also utilize the parking lot just south of the Fieldhouse for afternoon pick-up.

• Building Entry – Students may enter through Door 1 or Door 8 in the morning.

Your cooperation helps us keep traffic flowing, ensures safety for all, and makes the start and end of the day a positive experience for everyone. Thank you for doing your part!

Parents/Guardians of Seniors for 2025/2026:

The meningitis ACWY booster vaccine is required for grade 12.

Documentation of meningococcal booster is required the first day of school.

The meningitis vaccine is a booster of the meningitis shot they received for 6th grade known as Menactra, Menveo, or MCV4. This protects against serogroups ACWY. Students are eligible for the booster once they are age 16 or older.

There is a Meningitis B that is optional, but not required by state of IN, known as Trumenba or Bexsero.

Where to go for Immunizations:

Immunizations are usually covered by insurance at your physician’s office. If you do not have insurance, or if immunizations are not covered by insurance, please call (260) 424-SHOT (7468) between 9am-4pm Monday- Friday or go to supershot.org. They are currently charging only 15.00 dollars per immunization. No one is turned away due to inability to pay.

***Most pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Walmart) carry the meningitis booster and they can check your insurance coverage before administration. Take this letter to show them which Meningitis immunization is required.

If you need a copy of your student’s shot record let me know and I can send you one. Take a shot record with you to Super Shot.

Thank you for your help in getting this done for the start of the 2025-26 school year.
