What are you most looking forward to at Carroll?: As an alumna that did not have the House System while I was here, I am looking forward to learning more about it and all of the events that come along with it. I am also looking forward to learning more about certain sports that I have not been around as much and meeting more coaches who are sharing their passions for their sport here at Archbishop Carroll High School.
