Carrollton, Ky. — March 20, 2018 — Maggie Harper’s choices were Cincinnati, Louisville or Carrollton. She chose Carrollton. A sixth-grade social studies teacher at Carroll County Middle School, Harper is in her second year of teaching.

“Maggie quickly became someone we rely on,” said Principal Dana Oak. “She is a great team player and a great teacher. Our students are lucky to have her.”

In Maggie Harper’s sixth-grade social studies classroom, students learn about ancient Rome, Greece, Babylon and the Flash. But not the superhero.

Parents and Guardians,

Please see the attached documents from our State Department of Public Education and Cabinet for Health and Family Services, informing us of NEW immunization requirements effective on July 1, 2018.

All students must be in compliance with these NEW immunization requirements.

We are encouraging you to begin the process of determining IF your child needs these vaccines now because it is recommended that there be 6 months between the first and second doses.

Therefore, PLEASE DO NOT postpone this process until summer for that reason.

School health nurses are compiling a list of students who already meet these NEW immunization requirements.

If you have any questions, please call any of the nurses at the following numbers during school hours:

• Kathryn Winn Primary: Katrina Lipe, LPN — 732-7090
• Cartmell Elementary: Sherry Stamper, RN — 732-7085
• Carroll County Middle School: Lindsay Noble, LPN — 732-7080
• Carroll County High School: Catherine Towles, LPN — 732-7075

Carrollton, Ky. — Nov. 22, 2017 — Last week, students in Mackenzie Wright’s animal science class were learning about cows, but not from a textbook.

“Hands-on learning is important,” Wright said. “Dustin Ogburn brought one of his cows to the high school’s campus, so we had him bring it in the classroom.”
