More than 700 graduates walked the stage Friday ni

More than 700 graduates walked the stage Friday night at Dragon Stadium and we continue to celebrate the class of 2023 and all they have accomplished.

Dragon Media has a full gallery of ceremony photos posted at dragonmedia.smugmug.com, so check them out at the link in bio and relive the moments.

Two of the senior class sponsors, Mrs. Lindsey Jacobson and Mrs. Jen Randall, place senior name cards on the chairs in the CSHS auditorium in alphabetical order. The 740 graduates of the class of 2023 will begin the evening of graduation at their home campus before bussing to Dragon Stadium for the ceremony, so seating has to be coordinated at each location.

“It’s a big job,” Randall said. “Lots of logistics planning goes into a major event like graduation, but I really love getting to be part of this milestone for these students.”

Graduation ceremonies are set to begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday night. Tickets are not required for the event and doors open at 6:30 p.m.

The seniors celebrated their final days as a class

The seniors celebrated their final days as a class Tuesday at Circle R Ranch during the Senior Picnic. More than 550 seniors spent the day enjoying water slides, obstacle courses, sand volleyball and hayrides.

“This year, senior class council brought back the annual Powderpuff tournament,” senior class sponsor Mrs. Heather Pedigo said. “Eight teams competed for glory and team Ice Spice took home the golden football. Next up, graduation.”

More photos of senior picnic and prom can be found at dragonmedia.smugmug.com and are available for purchase/download.

Yearbooks were distributed today at CSHS and stude

Yearbooks were distributed today at CSHS and students took time to sign each others’ books before heading back to class or completing their senior checkout process.

“We are completely sold out for the fourth year in a row,” yearbook adviser Mrs. Natalie Brown said. “The day was wild and we barely had time to stop and look around; we were so busy handing out books. It’s a great feeling to see people enjoying the book that my Dragon Media kids spent months and months working on. They should be incredibly proud. I know I am.”

The class of 2023 celebrated their senior prom in

The class of 2023 celebrated their senior prom in style on Saturday night at the Hyatt Regency DFW. The Vintage Vegas event included dinner and dancing as well as gaming tables where students could bet and win chips to cash in for raffle tickets on prizes from gift cards to AirPods and more.

“Prom was so much fun this year, and I sort of knew what to expect since I went as a Green Jacket last year, but I thought the theme was super cool,” Joey Brown (12) said. “My favorite part was definitely the casino where my group spent most of our time.”

Following the STAAR U.S. History EOC exam Tuesday

Following the STAAR U.S. History EOC exam Tuesday morning, CSHS principal Ryan Wilson and AP Eddie Morman grilled burgers and hotdogs for the staff and students on campus. More than 1000 lunches were prepared and handed out by office staff following the test dismissal.

“All of my classes were relocated to the SAC or library today," Breanna Davenport (12) said. "Since I didn't have much to do, I helped serve hot dogs and hamburgers for the cookout. Mr. Wilson, Mr. Morman, and the rest of the staff did a great job putting the event together. It was also fun going to classes with Eliana to give out the leftovers."

The fine arts signing day took place last Wednesda

The fine arts signing day took place last Wednesday. Seniors pursuing a major in a fine art signed with a variety of colleges including NYU, PACE University, and TCU. “I enjoyed it a lot,” senior Zander Griffin, who is attending The Tisch School at NYU for musical theatre said. “It was really nice. I feel like nationally fine arts aren’t really important I guess to schools. It was nice to have the whole little event because it felt like everyone here matters."

Students in Engineering Design Presentation class

Students in Engineering Design Presentation class over at Carroll High School have officially begun their second-to-last projects of the school year. This project, a marble sorter, will be much more difficult than the last few designs because it requires much more planning ahead of time.

“We've been trying out different designs for the marble sorter but nothing has been working yet,” Joshua Landgraf (11) said. “My partner Braiden Callaway and I are trying out some new designs, and going through the motions. We’ll try weighing the marbles and then using an altered version of a robotic surgical arm we created for a previous project to separate the marbles into different containers. Hopefully everything works out this time.”

Earlier today, administrators from both CSHS and CHS surprised the 2023 valedictorian Lydia Wang and salutatorian Annabel Yu, at their homes to notify them of their top ranking.

“What an honor to have these two young women represent the Carroll class of 2023,” CSHS principal Ryan Wilson said. “Finishing first and second in their class of 726 students is an awesome accomplishment.”

In addition to the val and sal, the remaining top 10 graduates who will be acknowledged during the May 26 graduation ceremonies are: Iris Schmeder, Raghav Katta, Arman Amin, Raina Rumalla, Anbu Subramanian, Allison Chang, Joshua Thomas and Megan Ihle.

This year, StuCo adopted a local child, Nyla, from the Make-A-Wish Foundation and raised $15,000 for her to go to an animal camp at Blue Hills Ranch. Today, they threw a party to celebrate her wish being granted. Some of Nyla's favorite things include cupcakes, Chick-fil-A, and the Disney movie “Encanto.”

"We chose the color scheme of the rainbow for her party because her favorite color is the rainbow,” Lauren Sanders (11) said. "We did a welcome tunnel as she walked in, we had cupcake decorating, food, and everything that is her favorite. StuCo chose Nyla’s Wild Wish because she wants to go to Blue Hills Ranch which is a week-long camp full of animals so we adopted her and had multiple fundraisers." 📸 A. Patel

As the Taylor Swift concert approaches, Asha Patel

As the Taylor Swift concert approaches, Asha Patel (10) decorates a cowboy hat with gems and rhinestones to wear to tonight’s show. Each word written on the hat represents one of the 10 albums Taylor Swift has released in the last 16 years.

“When my mom told me she bought the tickets to the Eras Tour, I was really shocked,” Patel said, “For a while I didn’t think I was going to go but when she told me that we actually were, it didn’t even feel real.”

Taylor Swift will play three nights at AT&T Stadium to fully sold-out crowds this weekend. There are expected to be more than 85,000 fans at each performance.

On Friday, CSHS hosted the annual spring pep rally

On Friday, CSHS hosted the annual spring pep rally and raised more than $1000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Student Council is collaborating with Make-A-Wish to help raise funds for Nyla, an 8-year-old girl who is battling leukemia. Nyla loves animals and her wish is to attend Blue Hills Ranch this summer. Funds raised by CSHS will help grant that wish and future wishes to kids in north Texas. Donations can be made directly to the CSHS Make-A-Wish Donation Page (link at dragonmedia.org) or by participating in a spirit night fundraiser during Wish Week March 27-31. Spirit nights are set for Feed Store on March 27, Chiloso on March 28, Duffs on March 29, Crisp & Green on March 30 and Kincaid’s on March 31.

“My favorite part of this journey has been to see how many people and businesses have come together as a strong family community to support an 8-year-old girl for Make-A-Wish,” junior Sam Jeppson said. “It’s a powerful testament to charity and how we can all do our part to help someone because by doing that we help someone because by doing that we help ourselves become better people and a light to others to follow the example to pay it forward.”

During the pep rally there were performances by local band Redwall, Indoor Percussion, Bollywood Dance Club, winter guard, cheer and more.
