You’re in the home stretch, class of 2023! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Coach Lindsey Jacobson was named the 2023 CSHS Tea

Coach Lindsey Jacobson was named the 2023 CSHS Teacher of the Year this morning following an awards parade led by Principal Ryan Wilson and Superintendent Lane Ledbetter.

“I was super shocked and very emotional,” Jacobson said. “This school is super special to me, obviously, having grown up here and then working here for 13 years. I’m super grateful and very blessed to be honored like this.”

A Carroll graduate, Jacobson currently serves as the instructor and adviser for Dragon Media’s KDGN broadcast, the lead Student Council adviser, senior class sponsor and as a Lady Dragon Soccer coach.

“There’s not one of those jobs that she hasn’t put her entire heart into and successfully served her students and student athletes,” principal Ryan Wilson said. “The energy and effort she brings to Carroll Senior High School is motivating for all those who have the chance to work alongside her.”

During her educational career, Jacobson has also taught English, served as the English department head and worked as a secondary curriculum coordinator for CISD.

Students in AP World History are finishing up their third mind map of the year. The major content, dates, and places are all brought together and can easily be visualized with this project.

“The mind map took me about 20-30 minutes to make, but most of it was cutting and sketching out bubble letters," Trevor Mays (10) said. "I’m pretty sure I’ll use it to study in the future.”

The Carroll Dragon Band and Varsity Winter Guard perform at the Band Bistro event on Feb. 16. The event took place at the Carroll Senior High School's performing arts center and lasted throughout the night with live auctions and ensemble performances.

"I think the band bistro was awesome," Carson Crays (12) said. "There was a lot of great energy, a lot of great performances, and all in all, there was a lot of great fundraising for our band program. I performed in four ensembles, and I thought every single one went great. We had a lot of great crowd reaction and good vibes."

After months of preparation to host the spring lea

After months of preparation to host the spring leadership conference, this weekend StuCo will welcome more than 700 students from 70 schools across north Texas. The CSHS StuCo members spent the morning getting tables set up, putting up decorations, and cutting out name tags of different schools.

"We have a bunch of student councils from our district, district 3, coming in and this conference has leadership sessions and the schools are able to learn about projects that different schools are working on,” Sahasra Kandukuri (11) said.

The Dragon yearbook staff has been hard at work since 8 a.m. in room 115 at CSHS. During the 12-hour workday, students planned, designed and submitted spreads. The 400+ page yearbook is created entirely by Dragon Media students and is submitted for publication in early March to be delivered to students before graduation.

"Workday was definitely a lot of work," sports editor Grace Purpura (11) said. "It takes a lot of energy to be here for 12 hours, but we try to make the best of it. We have fun while still getting our work done."

On Saturday, baseball held their annual Dragon Palooza to fundraise and kick off the season. The event began at 9:30 a.m. with clinics taught by the team for youth baseball players, a silent auction, a chance to get the varsity players' signatures, and the day ended with a varsity vs alumni game with the varsity pulling through with a 7-1 win.

“Dragon Palooza was an amazing experience for me this year,” varsity player Tanner Carson (11) said. “I really enjoyed getting to help the kids learn, while also being able to give back to the community. I remember when I was a little kid in tee-ball and how much I looked up to the older high school players, so being able to talk to the little guys and help them grow in baseball was a great experience and I really enjoyed it."

The varsity team has their first game of the season on February 23 at 4 p.m. at Rock Hill High School. Their first home game is set for March 2 against Conway.

Students in the Engineering Design Presentation cl

Students in the Engineering Design Presentation class at Carroll High School are learning how to program for the first time. These students in particular were really enjoying working together as partners, and look forward to completing this project.

“I’ve never worked with a program like this before, but it makes me feel really professional and I love being able to have fun with my partner,” Audrey Hendrickson (10) said, “Computers are very prevalent in today’s world so I think programming will definitely come up a lot, especially if I continue to follow the engineering pathway.”

Students in the sculpture class at CHS form shoes

Students in the sculpture class at CHS form shoes made out of clay for an assignment. Students have been working on their shoes for multiple class periods to make their project as creative as possible. The next step after forming the shoes and firing them in the kiln, is to paint them.

“Personally, I’ve enjoyed this project because it lets me explore my creativity with clay and it lets me express myself,” Savanna Brazil (10) said.

This past Saturday, a VEX Robotics tournament took place at Carroll High School, with 52 teams from all over Texas competing for a chance to qualify for state and UIL. Carroll teams 7110A and 7110Z finished as tournament finalists, won the Excellence award and Build award, and qualified for UIL.

"Throughout the whole tournament, I definitely felt a rush of adrenaline every time there was a match," Senior Surya Venigalla from team 7110Z said. "But in the end, all the work we put in paid off as we performed really well and ended up in the finals."

Be sure to tune into KDGN this Friday to find out more about Carroll's Robotics teams.
