History

Founded in 1919 as Carroll School, bringing together students in grades 1-9 from area one-room schools. 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. 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.

Athletics

The Carroll Dragons have won 20 state titles since 1975. These titles include 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. In the 2011-12 school year, the Carroll Dragons won five separate state championships, the most state championships ever won by a single school year in UIL history. The Dragons won eight state championships (tied with Celina & Katy for the most by any 11-man program in Texas), including four of the first five state titles in which it competed in Class 5A (the class featuring the state's largest high schools). Several games have been televised nationally by Fox Sports Net, which has also caused controversy both locally and nationally.

Football

The Dragons have an all-time record of 398-126-8. Carroll's record in the last 20 seasons is 244-39-1. Bob Ledbetter led the Dragons to statewide prominence with three 3A state titles in 1988, 1992 and 1993. His successor, Tom Rapp, however, compiled only 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. In seven seasons, Dodge guided 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. Southlake Carroll has been recognized as United States High School National Champion in 2004, 2005 and 2006. His successor is Hal Wasson, former coach at Fossil Ridge High School (Fort Worth, Texas). Carroll won its third consecutive 5A state title in 2006, making it only the second school to "three-peat" in the 5A class (Robert E. Lee High School of Midland, Texas did it 1998-2000). In the 2006 title game, the Dragons beat Westlake High School of Austin, whose starting quarterback was Nick Foles, by a score of 43-29 for their 48th consecutive win.

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. 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 was the district champions, going 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 were the Dragons won 36-29 to claim the 2011 state championship. The win allowed Southlake Carroll to tie Celina High School with eight state championships, the most of any 11-man program. Southlake Carroll won five of the ten Texas 5A state championships from 2002-2011.

The Carroll Dragon football team competed in district 7-6A in the 2014 season and finished with a 10-0 regular season record including an unblemished 6-0 district record. The 2014 regular season schedule was clearly one of the more challenging schedules ever put together for the football program and included the likes of Texas powerhouse programs of Abilene, Midland Lee, Austin Westlake and Tulsa Union as part of the non-district schedule. District 7-6A was viewed by most media outlets as one of the most competitive 2014 districts in the state of Texas in Class 6A which included the powerful Trinity Trogans, returning playoff team LD Bell Raiders, rivalry opponent Coppell Cowboys, neighboring district foe Colleyville Heritage Panthers, and two Birdville ISD entries (Richland Rebels and Haltom Buffaloes). Five of these district teams were 2013 playoff contenders in Class 5A and were brought together in District 7-6A due to the biennial Texas University Scholastic League redistricting. The Dragons were ranked in the top 10 AP poll throughout the season and climbed to #2 overall at the conclusion of regular season play, with defending 5A division I state champion Allen Eagles at #1. Carroll competed in the 2014 UIL 6A Division II playoffs and won three playoff games including a remarkable 14 point come-from-behind victory in round 1 over the Mansfield Tigers (38-31) at AT&T stadium, an exciting second round offensive shootout against defending 4A state champion Denton Guyer (58-42) at AT&T stadium, and a third round convincing victory over the San Angelo Central Bobcats (35-10) at the new McLane Stadium on the campus of Baylor University. The Dragons fourth round opponent in the 6A Region 1 finals was the defending 5A Division II state champion Cedar Hill Longhorns and was played at SMU's Ford Stadium. History will record the game as an offensive explosion by both teams with Cedar Hill eventually prevailing 62-42, thus eliminating the 2014 Dragons from the 2014 state playoffs. Cedar Hill would go on to win the 2014 Division II state championship. The Head Coach for the 2014 Carroll Dragons was Hal Wasson with offensive coordinator Clayton George and defensive coordinator Tim Wasson.

The Dragons have been on the podium in 8 of the past 10 years, placing second in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2010 and third in 2005. They have qualified for the state meet 11 times and during that time have 23 state medalists (top 10) and 2-time state champion Colby Lowe (2006, 2007).

Swimming and Diving

The Carroll Dragon swim team is the undisputed top swim team in the state. The boys won the state championship in 2001 and 2002 as a 4A school, while the girls finished second in both years. The boys' and girls' teams have won their District Championship every year for the past nine years and, in 2010, both teams won the Region 2-5A meet, one of the toughest swimming/diving regions in the state. For the past five years, both teams have placed in the top three in the state meet, with the boys finishing second and the girls finishing third at the Texas 5A State Swim/Dive Championships in Austin in February 2010. The Dragons were undefeated in the 2010-2011 season as they made a run at both the boys' and girls' Texas State 5A Swim/Dive Championships in Austin in February at the University of Texas Swim Center. The Carroll men's team won the state championship for the 2010-2011 school year, while the women came in second place. In the 2011-2012 swim/dive season, the Southlake Carroll Dragon swim/dive teams dominated the competition, on their way to a "double" State 5A Championship in boys' and girls' Texas HS Swimming & Diving. On February 24-25, 2012, the swim/dive teams became the 2011-2012 Texas 5A state champions, recording a seldom-seen "double", winning both state championships in the same year. The 2011-2012 Lady Dragon swim/dive team was crowned the NISCA Power-Point Dual Meet National Champions. This competition recognizes superior depth in an entire program, not just a very few fast swimmers. The Lady Dragons amassed 6,396 points in the NISCA Power-Point, to edge out the second placed team by only four points. The 2012-2013 Dragon HS swim/dive programs headed into the "Championship" season of Districts, Regionals and State, with identical 14-0 records, making them the favorites to repeat as Texas 5A state champions.

Southlake Carroll boys' and girls' swim/dive teams won the 2013 Texas State 5A Swim/Dive Championships again, making three in a row for the boys and two in a row for the girls. Carroll Dragon swim teams were in action at the 2014 Texas 5A State Championships in Austin, Texas.
