Hello.  This is Principal LaVerne Mattocks with updates for Carrboro High School families.

Pictures will be taken during students' English classes. Seniors took pictures during the summer. If you are a Senior and did not take pictures during the summer, you can still have your picture made during your English class time. No other classes should be affected because of Picture Day. So remember, tomorrow dress for lifelong memories on Picture Day. Thank you so much, CHS English Dept. for your willingness!

Tuesday, September 30:  Carrboro is happy to host visitors from our partner school in Guilin, China, until Thursday, October 2, 2014.  Our friends from Guilin will get to visit significant sites in the Triangle while attending classes at Carrboro High School.  Please join me in welcoming our Guilin guests!
