Carroll Group Seeks New Comprehensive High School
The Carroll County Board of Education will hear from residents backing a proposed comprehensive senior high school in the Winfield area. The plan, supported by petitions and local property owners, aims to centralize grades 10 to 12 with a projected enrollment of 800 to 1,000 and a graduating class over 200, while Mt. Airy and Sykesville would contribute students from multiple districts. Opponents in Mt. Airy cite site concerns, and the board action follows a policy statement issued last April 16.
