Seniors are dismissed earlier than usual in order to do community service. Juniors welcome
their Freshman little sisters with a week of Freshman bloopers and end it with a party at the Per­
forming Arts Center. The Sophomores scramble about the halls preparing for Field Day and
many other activities. This is just a glimpse of how involved Carrollton students are in their High
School life. Preparing them on how to deal with the outside world, is one of the school’s main
goals.
“The feeling you get after helping the community is one that can not be replaced by any­
thing,” says senior Alison Barnett. Service is another important goal that the Sacred Heart order
tries to accomplish. By being involved and active in committees or just by preparing and partic­
ipating in activities such as Welcome Freshmen Week, the students serve each other and make
each other feel welcome.
Academics play a large part in student life at Carrollton. There are always students busy study­
ing for an exam, struggling with a lesson or trying to finish homework five minutes before the
bell rings. There is also time to break away from all the hustles and bustle by going to retreats,
sports, and special events. Free periods help the students get a rest on a busy day. “I look for­
ward to my free period every day, it is a time to rest and for me to be able to catch up on school
work,” Alina Pastoriza, a sophomore states.
The Carrollton community allows for a variety of activities that will ferment lifetime habits that
will enrich the students future life.
