Juniors and Seniors, do you need Service Learning hours? Are you a good role model in making healthy decisions (i.e. do not use alcohol or other drugs)? See Sergeant Mayfield or Linda Karcher, Student Assistance Program Counselor, about participating in Mock Crash, a re-enactment of an impaired driving accident. Our potential dates are April 28th or April 29th.

There will be a documentary screening on Feb 18th at Carrboro HS in celebration of Black History Month. "PRINCE AMONG SLAVES"
Prince Among Slaves is a documentary film about an African prince enslaved in America, whose remarkable story of hope during America’s early years presents lessons for today.


Good morning Carrboro High School, my name is Rahim Bobbitt . February is Black History Month. Throughout this month, we will honor a new generation of black leaders and black poets on the announcements. Each day, we will celebrate the legacy of black Americans through either the reading of a poem or of a brief bio of an inspirational black figure. 

Today’s quote is from Coal, by Audre Lorde.
Love is a word another kind of open—
As a diamond comes into a knot of flame
I am black because I come from the earth's inside   

Take my word for jewel in your open light.
