Carroll Senior High School is a public secondary school in Southlake, Texas, serving students in grades 11 - 12. The school is part of the Carroll Independent School District, serving the majority of the city of Southlake, Texas and portions of northwest Grapevine, far northern Colleyville and eastern Westlake. The building is located at 1501 W. Southlake Blvd at the intersection of S. Peytonville Avenue and Southlake Blvd.HistoryFounded in 1919 as Carroll School, better know at the time as the Carroll Hill School, brought together students in grades 1-9 from around the area, in a one-room school. Men of district No. 99, then a poor, rural area west of Grapevine, voted to increase their taxes to build a school. That fall, the three-room Carroll School opened next to a wagon road renamed Carroll and only accepted white students. That same year, District No. 99 was named for B. Carroll, county superintendent of instruction. The school is still standing today, located at 1055 N. Carroll Avenue, north of Texas 114, just before the former Carroll Intermediate School. In 1959, Carroll upgraded to an Independent School District, becoming only primary education. For high school, students had to go to Grapevine. From 1961-1962, the district added 9th grade. In 1965, Carroll ISD was fully accredited for primary and secondary education and the district built a high school wing right next to the original Carroll High School. Later that year, their first senior class graduated in the original Carroll School off Carroll Avenue. In 1970, Carroll High School opened at Dove Road and Carroll Avenue. In 1992, a new campus at Peytonville and Southlake Boulevard was opened and housed classes 9-12 until the year 2000 when 9th grade was moved to what was then known as Carroll Junior High School (now Carroll High School) to accommodate growth. In 2002 the school became a true “split campus” when the Southlake Boulevard campus became Carroll Senior High School serving juniors and seniors and the old Junior High became Carroll High School, serving freshmen and sophomores. However, the two separate campuses function as one school. Both schools have upheld an exemplary rating according to the TEA.
