Success Breeds Success

The adage that Success breeds Success describes the Carroll Dragons.
Congratulations go out to Ron Behrends and his staff for preparing our students in Band to earn a Division 1 at the most recent UIL Band Marching Contest. The Mighty Dragon Band has earned a Division 1 thirty out of the last thirty one years! We also had one student who was named to the All Region Orchestra, congratulations to Bonnie Song a wonderful violinist. We are awaiting the announcement of the All State Orchestra and Jazz groups.

Our Choir under the leadership of Chris Hutchison had twenty six students compete in the Texas Music Educators Association All State Choir tryouts. Twenty two of these students made the All Region Choir and fourteen of these students willing be advancing to the Area Tryouts.

If you have not heard our Cross Country teams led by Coach Leonard has twleve athletes advancing to regionals. Our Girls Cross Country team came in first place at the District Meet this past week and two boys will be advancing to Regionals after they finished third and tenth.

How about the Lady Dragon Volleyball Team! They finished second in district and defeated Central High School in the Bi-District Playoff game before a packed gym over at Timbercreek High School this evening in three games. Congratulations to Coach Stanfield, his staff and our player. What a Crowd!

Our football team as you know has one game left in district play this coming Friday at Lewisville. Sporting an undefeated recorded in district and 8-1 overall record Coach Watson and his staff and players are taking one game at a time in pursuit of a District Championship. The first round of playoffs will be finalized in the next day or so, so be listening for the date, time and the PLACE!

Success breeds Success is our tradition of excellence in all we do. I always hate to recognize groups out of fear of forgetting or overlooking another. We have student groups that are traveling all over the country and state to places like Harvard and Georgetown to debate, compete in computer science and academic competitions. They are achieving great success so stay connected to learn of their district, regional, state and national TFA and UIL results.

Student success would not occur without strong support systems which include awesome coaches, sponsors, parents and booster clubs. On behalf of our students and staff we would like to thank you for your support. personally seeing the twinkle of pride in the eye of students, parents and coaches makes it worth all the long hours of sacrifice.

Congratulations Dragons .............. Protect & Extend the Tradition
