🐾💙💛 CELEBRATING OUR CARLTON HILLS ADMIN TEAM! 🌟

Last week may have been Administrator Appreciation Week, but we believe every day is a great day to celebrate our team! 💙💛

At Carlton Hills, we are lucky to have our Principal Mr. Dobbins and our Vice Principal Mrs. Ramirez leading our Jaguar family! 🐆

But don't just take our word for it…Hear what our very own Jaguars have to say 🎤❤️

Sometimes the sweetest words come from our students, and their voices remind us what makes Carlton Hills such a special place.

🐾 Here's to leadership, laughter, relationships, and a whole lot of Jaguar pride!

💙💛 WE ROAR TOGETHER!

🧪🐾 SCIENCE IS EXPLODING WITH FUN IN 7TH GRADE! 💙💛🔬

Our 7th grade Jaguars have been busy experimenting, exploring, and discovering the wonders of science! 🤩

🐘🫧 Elephant Toothpaste Lab! Students watched science come to life with an exciting, foamy chemical reaction!

❄️💨 Dry Ice Experiments! Our young scientists explored the fascinating properties of dry ice and watched some seriously COOL science in action!

These hands-on experiences bring science beyond the textbook, encouraging curiosity, observation, and a whole lot of excitement for learning! 🧠✨

We love seeing our Jaguars ask questions, make discoveries, and have FUN while learning!

🔬💙 Way to go, 7th grade scientists! Keep experimenting and exploring! 🐆

🐾💙💛 JAGUAR STUDENT LEADERS IN ACTION! 🎤🌟

Last night, two of our amazing 8th grade Jaguars had the honor of representing Carlton Hills at the Santee School District Student Forum! 👏

Our student leaders had the opportunity to sit down with the Board of Education and share their perspectives on an important topic: school attendance! 📚🏫

Students engaged in meaningful conversations, brainstorming creative ways to incentivize, support, and encourage positive school attendance across our district.

We love seeing our Jaguars use their voices, share their ideas, and take an active role in making our schools even better! 💡💙

🌟 Student voice matters, and we are SO proud of these two Jaguars for stepping up to represent their peers and our Carlton Hills community!

Way to ROAR, Jaguars! 🐆💛
