Carroll High School

What Carroll High School does

Carroll High School is a public high school serving approximately 650 students in grades 9-12 within the Ozark City School District in Ozark, Alabama. The school is governed by the Ozark City Schools Board of Education and operates under the jurisdiction of the Alabama State Department of Education. The current school building was newly constructed in 2013 to replace the original 1950s facility, and the school operates under the district's unifying #ONEeagle brand identity.

The school's core educational offering is structured around a Freshman Academy for incoming students, followed by six specialized career academies: Industrial Technology, STEM (Cognia-certified), Medical Science, Alabama Power Business, Human Services, and Arts. This career academy model positions Carroll among the first Alabama public schools to enable students to earn Career/Technical Education credentials. The school reports a 95% graduation rate, with 41% of students obtaining free college credit before graduation through AP exams or dual enrollment with Troy University. Supporting programs include 25 athletic teams competing in the Alabama High School Athletic Association (AHSAA), a JROTC program, an award-winning band program, and more than 20 student organizations including HOSA, FBLA, and the National Honor Society. The school is designated as a Purple Star School for its support of military-connected students.

Carroll High School is funded through standard public education sources: state education allocations, local taxes, and federal grants (including Title I). No tuition is charged for district residents. Revenue model is fundamentally non-commercial; ancillary revenue streams are limited to cafeteria meal payments (via eFunds for Schools) and a small spirit wear merchandise store (CHS SWAG via Sideline Store). The technology stack includes PowerSchool for student information, a 1:1 Chromebook initiative, Finalsite for website management, Parchment for transcripts, and Tutor.com for tutoring support to military-connected students. The Media Center houses over 8,000 volumes and provides ACT/ASVAB/AP study resources.
