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.

"Chinese Club's dumpling meeting was really fun," senior Lydia Wang said. "We got to learn more about the culture by making food—which everyone loves—all while playing around with friends."

Dragon Cheer performed their spirit routine for the crowd at the UIL Showoffs last night in the CSHS gym. There were outstanding performances from all of the other teams of Dragon Cheer including Dragon Youth Cheer, Carroll Middle School and Dawson Middle School cheer. For the Carroll Senior High varsity and JV cheerleaders, the UIL Spirit State Championship is coming up soon, and after months of hard work perfecting the routine, the girls are ready to give the judges a real show.

"While performing I felt confident in everyone and enjoyed the energy brought to the mat," Samantha Mickan (9) said. "I am so excited for the upcoming competition because we will get to show what all of us have been working so hard on. I couldn't ask for a more talented group of girls to surround myself with."

The UIL Spirit State Championship will take place at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Dallas on Jan. 12-14, and supporters are welcome to attend.

On Monday JV Dragon wrestlers traveled to Timber Creek High School to compete.

"I feel like I performed pretty well but could have done better," Hayden Mitchell (9) said. "This is my first year because my football coaches told me that it would help me with defense. It did. I'm getting better at tackling now that I know what to do."

On Dec. 1, the Carroll Jazz Band had their annual winter concert. The concert began at 6:30 with performances from the Carroll and Dawson Middle School bands. Following those performances, the Carroll Jazz Band, the Jazz Ensemble, and the Jazz Orchestras took the stage. The Carroll Jazz program has had national success and is recognized as one of the top programs in the country.

"I had a lot of fun at the jazz concert, and while I feel there are parts where we could’ve done better, I think we were always able to recover well," Ben Finkelstein (12) said. "It was also really nice seeing the younger bands play so well, and thinking back to when I was in the same spot as them."

In the Anatomy and Physiology class this week, students begin dissecting rats. Students were able to learn about the anatomy of vertebrae, and some even gave their rats names like Remy, Roger, and Jamal.

“The dissection was really exciting because we haven't dissected something since eighth grade," Sanjana Senthil (10) said. "We had dissected a frog and only the couple of us who went in person did the dissection then. This felt a lot more like we were applying what we learned in anatomy, so that was exciting."

The Carroll Dragon basketball program started off

The Carroll Dragon basketball program started off the first day back from break by hosting their annual community pep rally. The event included a special guest of the MavsMan pumping up the crowd's energy by doing shows and inclusive games or challenges. Afterward, people had the opportunity to go get a signed poster from both varsity teams.

“This was my first community night as a member of the varsity basketball team and I really enjoyed it," Natalia Jordan (10) said. "I had lots of fun watching the maverick man and the mascot. My favorite part was getting to sign autographs and having fun with both the boy's and girl's varsity team,” Jordan said.
