Carroll County Schools launched an initiative focused on preparing students not just to graduate, but to be employed, enlisted, or enrolled because the ultimate goal of education extends beyond a diploma—it's about empowering students for life after high school. By prioritizing real-world readiness, the initiative ensures that every student leaves with a clear path forward, whether that’s starting a career, serving in the military, or continuing their education. This proactive approach bridges the gap between academic achievement and life success, helping students develop the skills, mindset, and direction needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. It's not just about graduating—it's about graduating with purpose.
