...West Carroll High School... Principal: Bob Lamb
West Carroll High School has a student population of approximately 450 students from the communities of Savanna, Mt. Carroll and Thomson, Illinois. Students have the opportunity to take a wide variety of classes to facilitate their learning styles and academic goals for the future. AP and dual credit classes are part of the curriculum at West Carroll whereby students can pick up college credits before graduation. In addition the high school offers the opportunity to send students to the AVC center in Elizabeth to sharpen a particular vocational interest. In 2009 approximately 60 students took advantage of that opportunity. Pupils have the options of choosing from well over 100 classes in their four years of schooling. Approximately 80% of graduates continue their post secondary education either at a junior college or four year university. In addition to curricular offerings the high school is able to offer students a vast number of extra curricular events. The Thunder is quickly developing a reputation for athletic success on the playing field during the first four years. Curricular clubs have also had much success with outstanding participation. Music and the fine arts have been great examples of the many positives of consolidation. A State Sweepstake Music trophy has been secured every year of existence for the high school! The West Carroll FFA program is highly esteemed throughout the state and currently has a graduate serving as a state officer for the 2008-09 school year. We highly encourage all of our students to become involved in the many fun aspects of becoming involved in the total student life to create lifetime memories.
2010 Yearbook Theme is "Where Everybody Knows Your Name".
