Carroll Senior High School (commonly known as Southlake Carroll) 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.

History

Carroll Senior High School was founded in 1919 as Carroll School, better known at the time as Carroll Hill School, and served students in grades 1-9. In 1959, Carroll became an Independent School District. In 1965, Carroll ISD was fully accredited for primary and secondary education. The original Carroll High School opened in 1970. In 1992, a new campus was opened and served grades 9-12 until the year 2000, when 9th grade was moved to Carroll Junior High School (now Carroll High School) to accommodate growth. In 2002 the school became a true “split campus” when Carroll Junior High School became Carroll High School, serving freshmen and sophomores, and Carroll High School became Carroll Senior High School, serving juniors and seniors.

Athletics

The Carroll Dragons have won 20 state titles since 1975, including titles in American football, wrestling, golf, cross country, swimming, baseball, soccer, basketball, diving, track and field, hockey, marching band, and lacrosse. Carroll won the UIL Lone Star Cup in the 2000–01 and 2001–02 school years as a 4A school and in the 2011–12, 2012–13 and 2013–14 school years as a 5A school.[2]

Football

The football team enters the field at Texas Stadium for the 2005 Texas 5A Division II State Championship game, which it won 34–20 against the Katy Tigers

As of 2017, The Dragons have an all-time record of 427–135–8. Head Coach Bob Ledbetter led the Dragons to statewide prominence with three 3A state titles in 1988, 1992 and 1993. His successor, Tom Rapp, compiled a 29–17–1 record as Carroll head coach from 1996–99 without a state finals appearance.

In 2000, the former University of Texas at Austin quarterback Todd Dodge replaced Rapp as head coach. In seven seasons, Dodge led the Dragons to a 98–11 record (including a 79–1 record and four state championships in the school's first five years as a Class 5A program), before leaving Carroll for the University of North Texas in 2007. His successor is Hal Wasson,[3] former head coach at Fossil Ridge High School (Fort Worth, Texas).[4] Carroll was recognized as United States High School Football National Champion in 2004, 2005 and 2006.[5]

Carroll Senior High School played Miami Northwestern High School in a rare No. 1 versus No. 2 match at the Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas, Texas, on September 15, 2007.[6] The game was televised nationally by ESPNU. The Dragons were defeated 29–21, which ended their winning streak at 49, tying the Texas big-school state record set by Abilene HS from 1954–1957. On December 1, 2007, Southlake Carroll faced Abilene High School in the Regional semifinals. Carroll was defeated 22–21. In 2009, Carroll defeated Colleyville Heritage in the first round of the playoffs. In the second round of the playoffs, Carroll and Allen played a memorable game at Cowboys Stadium that went to 2OT and ended with a Carroll victory 35–34. In the third round, Carroll was upset by Arlington Bowie 45–21. In the 2011 season, Southlake Carroll became the district champion, with a record of 10-0. The Dragons defeated Plano East, Cedar Hill, Arlington Bowie, Arlington Martin and Dallas Skyline to advance to the 5A Division 1 state championship game against Fort Bend Hightower, where the Dragons won 36–29 to claim the 2011 state championship.

The Carroll Dragon football team competed in district 7-6A in the 2014 season and finished with a 10-0 regular season record.
