Cali Jones

Carrollton High School Assistant Principal Courtney Walker has been named one of only three finalists in the nation eligible for the 2024 National Association of Secondary School Principals Assistant Principal of the Year award. 

Carrollton High School Assistant Principal Courtney Walker has been named a finalist for the National Association of Secondary School Principals Assistant Principal of the Year Award. Walker was named the 2023-2024 Georgia Assistant Principal of the Year in the fall. Pictured with Walker are Kerensa Wing and Wanda Law from GASSP, Carrollton City Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Albertus (left), and CHS Principal Ian Lyle (right).

The NASSP National Assistant Principal of the Year program honors outstanding middle and high school assistant principals. Each year, one assistant principal is chosen from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Department of State's Office of Overseas Schools, and the Department of Defense Education Activity. These finalists are selected from a pool of nominees representing their state or department. The program recognizes assistant principals who excel at creating high-quality learning experiences for students and have made significant contributions to the field of education.

CHS Principal Ian Lyle nominated Walker, who has been a leader at Carrollton City Schools since 2019.

“Mrs. Walker is a very passionate and dedicated leader who works tirelessly all year to ensure the success of Carrollton High School,” said Lyle. “She truly cares about the success and well-being of our staff and students. I am very proud that the NASSP has recognized the impact of her educational leadership and am excited to see what she will accomplish next.”

From 2021 to 2023, Walker served as the assistant principal of curriculum and guidance, overseeing teaching and learning, professional development, and guidance services.  She currently serves as the assistant principal of teaching and learning.

“Mr. Horstman, Ms. Murphy and Ms. Walker exemplify the exceptional leadership that defines the very best in our schools,” said NASSP CEO Ronn Nozoe. “Their dedication goes beyond the call of duty, directly impacting the lives and futures of their students and educators in the most positive ways. We couldn’t be prouder to honor their incredible work.”

The 2024 National NASSP Assistant Principal of the Year will be announced on April 5 at a gala, bringing together National Honor Society Scholarship finalists and state assistant principals of the year.

Two Carrollton High School juniors will be headed to Georgia Southern in Statesboro this summer to participate in the Governor’s Honors program.

Alana Lee and Marie Fujita-Block will be representing the district at the program.

The Governor’s Honors Program, known as GHP, is a four-week residential summer program for gifted and talented rising high school juniors and seniors.  Students who attend public, private, and home schools are eligible for nomination in one of 20 subject areas.

Alana will compete in Communicative Arts and Marie will compete in Science June 16 through July 13.

Other CHS semifinalists, Jacob Preston and Christopher Watts, are alternates. If selected, Jacob will focus on Chemistry and Christopher will focus on Engineering. Alternates will be notified in May if a slot becomes available in their area of concentration.

CHS has a strong legacy of producing GHP finalists. Over the last decade, more than 30 CHS students have been selected for the program.

CHS named AP STEM Honor School

Carrollton High School’s STEM initiative and its focus on increasing Advanced Placement (AP) course offerings and student participation have earned CHS state recognition as an AP STEM School. 

The Georgia Department of Education named the 2024 AP Honor Schools based on the results of 2023 AP courses and exams. 

To qualify as an AP STEM School, students must test in at least two AP math courses and two AP science courses. CHS and 275 other Georgia schools from 98 school districts qualified for this honor. 

“This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our students and teachers,” said Ian Lyle, CHS principal. “The Advanced Placement students choose to take more rigorous, time-consuming courses that will prepare them for college and beyond, while the AP teachers consistently show they not only care about their students but also want them to be pushed to their full potential.”

Dr. Mark Albertus, superintendent of Carrollton City Schools, not only commended CHS for the achievement, but placed credit on the lower schools as well.

“We should be very proud as a school system for this accomplishment,” said Albertus. “While it is obvious high school students are the ones who take Advanced Placement courses, it can’t be done without system-wide effort and support. The rigorous curriculum in place at all grade levels plays a pivotal role in preparing our students for success in their AP coursework.”

Carrollton High School offers a total of 18 Advanced Placement courses, including the classes recognized for the STEM focus: Statistics, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science and Physics. Other AP courses that are available are Government, World History, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, U.S. History, Language, World Literature, U.S. Literature, Studio Art, Psychology, and Human Geography. In addition to the AP offerings, CHS implemented the International Baccalaureate program in 2012, another route students can pursue to ensure academic rigor through more than a dozen more course offerings.
