CHS
Activity Building
Construction is
complete and students are using the multipurpose facility at Carroll
Senior High
School. This structure, located directly behind the Fieldhouse, provides
indoor workout space for physical education classes, fine arts, drill team
and athletic teams. It features field turf, a new artificial turf that
reduces the risk of injury to athletes, requires less maintenance and
allows for multi-use of the facility. Field turf was also approved
for the new stadium on South Kimball.

cafeteria. The campus is home to about 450 of the district’s seventh and
eighth graders.

center was constructed on 3.5 acres of property on the northeast
corner of the Carroll Senior High School campus. The facility, which will
also be used for community swim programs, will feature a 50-meter pool,

Multi-purpose
Stadium & Transportation Facility
Work is complete on the
multi-purpose stadium located on 42 acres of
school-owned property on South Kimball Avenue near the extension of
Kimball and Continental Avenues. The project includes a new transportation
facility complete with washing and maintenance bays, training rooms,
offices and parking for the district’s bus fleet. The stadium is just
north of the transportation facility and seats 7,500 spectators. School
officials voted to install an artificial turf that reduces the chance of
injury and still allows the stadium to be used for multiple purposes. The
general contractor for these two facilities was Charter Builders. The
stadium opened on September 7, 2001, with more than 8,000 people in
attendance. The Dragons defeated the Haltom Buffalos 45-6 in the
stadium opener.
