Statement From Carroll County Schools About Loss of Student

Football field will be open today for students to grieve

It is with great sadness that Carroll County Schools informs our community that Carroll County High School lost one of its students suddenly this weekend.

The young man would have started his junior year of high school on Wednesday. He was a member of the CCHS Panthers football team, an officer in FFA and a CCHS cheerleader.

“It is difficult to process and cope with the loss of such a young, vital life,” said Carroll County Schools Superintendent Casey Jaynes. “Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with this young man’s family.”

Carroll County High School campus and football field will be open to students Monday, Aug. 14, beginning at noon. CCHS Principal Amy Sutter said she wanted students to know they have a “safe space to gather, grieve or just be.” Adults will be available for the students.

The investigation into his death is ongoing and no other information is available at this time
