FINAL ACADEMIC FAILURES
With little more than two months remaining, it is IMPERATIVE that students
in danger of failing for the year, take corrective action IMMEDIATELY.
Students who conclude the year with one or two final failures (major or
minor courses, required or elective) must attend diocesan summer school.
Students with three or more final failures (including Conduct) are liable to
dismissal from Archbishop Carroll. SENIORS with a failure in ANY subject
may NOT participate in graduation; they will receive their diploma after
successful completion of summer school.
DIOCESAN SCHOLARS
We offer our warmest congratulations to eight exemplary juniors selected as
Archbishop Carroll’s Diocesan Scholars for the 2015-2016 academic year. This
program is sponsored and underwritten by local Catholic colleges and the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia at no additional tuition cost to the student. Diocesan
Scholars take two college courses each semester of senior year. They return to
Carroll each afternoon to conclude their high school studies. This program affords
the students the opportunity to get a “jump-start” on their college education by
earning twelve college credits; these credits are accepted at colleges and
universities across the nation.
It is with great pleasure that we congratulate our 2015-2016 Diocesan Scholars:
Bridget Boylan
Christina Corbett
Devin Corrigan
Brooke Crymes

FROM CAMPUS MINISTRY CENTER †
From the President’s Desk
Dear Parents and Guardians,
At one of his general audiences following his
election, Pope Francis encouraged those present to ‘feel
the joy of being Christian’ in light of the Resurrection of
Christ. As we celebrate this reason for our joy at Easter
once more, it gives us an opportunity to reflect: Am I a
joyful person? Am I someone who people naturally gravitate toward because of my words and actions, how do I
treat myself and others? Does my life bear witness to the
joy of being Christian, a follower of the Risen Christ?
Sometimes it simply takes living our lives and
our Christian Faith with a sense of passion and joy to attract the people in our lives to the source of this joy –
Jesus. It begins by focusing on the needs of others and
how we can be the Risen Christ for them, in looking outward as opposed to looking inward. So as Pope Francis
encourages us, “Let us have the courage to come out of
ourselves to take this joy and this light to all the places of
our life!” Happy Easter
Tom Phillips
PS. Holy Mass is celebrated daily at 7:10 am in Chapel
and you are most welcome. If you wish to have Mass
celebrated with the special intention of a deceased loved
one, please contact me at tphillips@jcarroll.org or phone
at 610-688-7610, ext. 125.
Dear Parents,
Spring has sprung, so to speak. For me, that means
a time of renewal, a time for a fresh start and a rejuvenated
outlook, a time for resurrection. As we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, we are reminded of life anew and everlasting. How breathtakingly refreshing that is to think about.
Christ’s renewal is surely a celebration—and it
launches us, with optimism and hope, into a new season.
This season at Carroll is so exciting. We are coming to the
close of another wonderful year in Catholic Education. We
are looking ahead to all of the wonderful memories that
Spring affords us to create—proms and graduations, to
name a few of the larger highlights.
Two things I am most excited about are our annual
CAFÉ and our upcoming phonathon. Mr. Denelsbeck is
working tirelessly with our Parents’ Association to bring us
another fantastic showing of fun, celebration and generosity. So, please mark April 25th on your calendar, and come
to Carroll to Viva Las Vegas!
† Junior Retreat—Thursday, April 16: As part of the
faith tradition at Archbishop Carroll, each class participates in an annual retreat day. A retreat is an opportunity
for students to step back from the everyday routine of high
school life and focus on their relationship with themselves,
the people in their lives, and most importantly, our loving
God. The junior Retreat will be conducted by former campus minister, Rev. Stephen DeLacy and a team of seminarians and religious sisters. The theme will focus on discerning God’s call in life, especially when it comes to considering a vocation to priesthood or religious life. Please
do not schedule any appointments or family activities for
your child on this day as participation is mandatory.
† The Kairos Retreat: The first Kairos retreat for the
Class of 2016 will take place from June 15-18, 2015 at
Malvern Retreat Center. The first retreat will be by invitation only. Open registration for the three remaining Kairos
dates for 2015-2016 will open online for all remaining
rising seniors before the conclusion of the school year—
first come, first served. If your child’s sports or activity
schedule necessitates that he/she attend a Kairos retreat
scheduled during an off season, please encourage him/her
to sign up for that particular time (October, January, or
March) once registration opens. For further information
on Kairos, please go to the Campus Ministry section of the
Carroll website.
A fund to assist those students who are in need of
financial help in order to participate in the Kairos experience continues to accept donations. If you would like to
sponsor a student (total cost $280) or simply contribute to
the fund, please contact Mrs. Ritter in the Tuition Office
(ext. 136).
This year, we are attempting to boost our spring
appeal with a phonathon! For two nights, Carroll students
and teachers (current and retired!) will fill our library to
raise donations for the Carroll Fund. It is community events
like these that constantly show me how united we are, and
how we all work to make our school spectacular.
“The Place to Be.” “Carroll Cares.” “Pro Dei et
Patria.” We embody them all. We are Patriots. We are
Catholic. WE ARE ARCHBISHOP CARROLL!
Warm regards,
Frank Fox ‘77

Dear Parents,
As we move toward the end of my third year at
Carroll, I want to say thank you for all of your support. While we may not agree on all decisions, we
agree that our students at Carroll are wonderful young
men and women who are poised to do great things.
I look forward to our Senior Parent Farewell on
Wednesday, May 27; I thank the Parents’ Association
for their sponsorship of this event.
As you may know, we have entered an academic partnership with Cabrini College. This will allow
juniors and seniors to take up to four courses per year
at Cabrini. If your current sophomore or junior is interested and has not chosen this option when selecting
courses, please email me to discuss this program.
We have had many academic, athletic, and spiritual successes this year at Carroll; we continue to be
blessed by wonderful students and parents who understand the essential elements of Catholic education. We
are blessed to have your support.
In the coming months, we will be wrapping up
the school year. Please keep your eye out for summer
reading information, world language summer work,
closing day schedules and information about next year.
For seniors parents, you should have received a mailing with regard to prom and graduation.
May you enjoy God’s blessings.
Sincerely,
Joseph Denelsbeck
E-mail address: principal@jcarroll.org
Welcoming Jesus Statue
On Thursday, May 21, 2015, we will unveil and bless our
Welcoming Jesus Statue. We will be joined by the Nowlan family and
some of our benefactors who helped to bring our dream to reality.
The artist is Larry Nowlan, Carroll Class of 1983, who has made a
significant contribution to the art world and to his alma mater, Carroll High School.

GUIDANCE NOTES
 DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS: All parents and guardians
are strongly encouraged to check the Daily Announcements
each day on the school website www.jcarroll.org. Much
information is given to the students that parents or guardians
may also find helpful. It is also recommended that students
check their Carroll email (ac201XXXXX@jcarroll.org) on a
regular basis as this is another means that the Guidance Office uses to communicate important information.
 SENIORS: Please continue to share all college acceptances, scholarships, awards, and financial aid packages with
the Guidance Office. Each year statistical information is
requested by both the Pennsylvania Department of Education
and the Office of Catholic Education. Also, individual scholarship/grant information for the Class of 2015 will be published in the graduation booklet. Please note that if you do
not share this information, it cannot be published. The
deadline date to forward this information is May 8 th. This
notice is also posted in the senior homerooms. Your cooperation is appreciated.
 JUNIORS: Junior students have been seen individually or
in small groups to discuss the college planning process.
Through the kindness of the English Department, counselors
have been able to visit with all juniors to highlight the college search and the college admissions process, stress the
importance of college visitations, recommendations, and
types of admissions. If a parent or guardian has any questions
or concerns, please feel free to contact the Guidance Office.
 All students should have received their Naviance account
and
should
have
opened
an
account
with
www.collegeboard.org They are strongly encouraged to take
full advantage of both.
 RECOMMENDATIONS: Members of the Class of 2016
are encouraged to politely request written recommendations
from two or three members of our faculty or staff and send
them a request through their Naviance account.
 FINANCIAL AID: All students, especially juniors, are
encouraged to use the financial aid search programs available
on the Internet. This is a most helpful way to get information
on potential sources of aid for post-secondary education. An
exceptional website for a financial aid search is
www.fastweb.com. An extensive list of websites has been
given to all juniors which is located in the College Information Guide.
 SATs and ACTs: Both the SATs and ACTs are used by
colleges for admissions purposes. ACHS does not submit
these score to the colleges, it is the responsibility of the individual to send these scores to the colleges directly from the
testing source. The next test date for the SAT (used for admission to all colleges) and the SAT Subject Tests is May
2nd.
The regular registration deadline for the May test is
April 6th, and the late registration deadline is April 21 st.
Please note that ACHS is a test center in May. Both the
SAT and the SAT Subject Tests will be offered again on
June 6th. The regular registration deadline for the June test is




6
May 8th, and the late registration deadline is May 27th.
ACHS is NOT a test center in June. All students are encouraged to apply online at www.collegeboard.org.
The ACT will be offered at ACHS on April 18th. We
will offer the test again in the Fall of 2015 and in the
Spring of 2016. Our high school code is 394131 and our
test center code is 21811. To learn more about the ACT,
please go to www.act.org. To register for the ACT, go to
www.actstudent.org.
COLLEGE BOARD QUICKSTART PROGRAM:
Through the efforts of Mr. Paul McGeehan, a retired English faculty member, all juniors and sophomores have
been able or will be able to experience the free online
SAT prep program at the College Board website. This is
a unique program that is specifically designed for each
individual student based on his/her October 2014 PSAT
results. It is a great way to prepare for the SAT and the
PSAT. Please encourage your students to take full advantage of this opportunity.
EARLY SAT REGISTRATION: Again this year, students can register early, approximately the middle of May,
for the Fall 2015 SAT and SAT Subject Tests. The tests
will be offered in October, November, and December.
You can register online by contacting the College Board
at www.collegeboard.org. The high school code for
Archbishop Carroll is 394131 and our test center code is
39610. Please note that we will be a test center for the
October and December test dates.
COLLEGE FAIR: The Annual Main Line College
Fair will be held Tuesday, April 28th at the Pavilion, Villanova University Campus. Once again ACHS will help
to sponsor the event which will run from 6:30 pm to 9:00
pm. This is an excellent opportunity to meet college representatives from hundreds of schools. Please make plans
to attend this free event; everyone is invited. In addition
to this event, please ask your son/daughter to check the
Open House invitations which are posted in the Cafeteria.
SUMMER PROGRAMS: There are a number of colleges, universities, and organizations sponsoring a wide
range of interesting summer programs. Please ask your
son/daughter to check the display in the school cafeteria
along with a list that will be distributed in homeroom.
EMPLOYMENT: All job postings are displayed on the
Job Board in the cafeteria. These are updated as we are
made aware of employment opportunities.
ACADEMIC/DISCIPLINE REFERRALS: Any parent
or guardian who would like to discuss your student’s progress is encouraged to call the Guidance Office. The National Honor Society offers tutoring; Weekly Progress
Reports are always available from the counselors. Please
contact the Guidance Office for more information.
COLLEGE PRESENTATIONS: A number of colleges
have been visiting during second semester. This is a great
opportunity for our students to interact with an admissions
counselor, to ask questions, and to pick up materials, including applications. ALL students are encouraged to
take advantage as college reps continue to visit Archbishop Carroll High School.

 SPRING/SUMMER UNIFORMS
The Spring dress code is currently in effect. Parents, we need
your help in making sure that all of our students are in the proper
dress code at all times.
Please take special note: Girls’ skirt length should not be shorter
than one inch above the knee; boys’ pants must be fitted to the
waist and belted; boys are to be clean shaven at all times, no facial
hair; and, only a plain white undershirt may be worn under the
uniform shirt, no colors, patterns or prints. Students may wear
either the school golf shirt or a button down shirt (white or blue)
with a tie for the boys. Failure to comply with the school uniform
code may result in your child receiving demerits for uniform violation and/or not be permitted to attend classes.
 STUDENT DRIVERS
Only students who have purchased a permit may park on campus.
Students may still purchase permits for half price ($25). Violators
will receive demerits for illegal parking and be charged the full
$50 permit fee.

CELL PHONES
Cell phones may not be used for any reason during the school
day, except in the west cafeteria during lunch periods and during
study periods! Phones are to remain in the off position during
all academic classes. The school day begins at 7:40 am and
ends at 2:25 pm. If a student is found using a cell phone illegally, the phone will be confiscated and returned at the end of the
next school day, the student will pay a $10 fine and receive demerits and detentions. If parents need to contact a child during
the school day, please do so through the Office for Student Services.

ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend school each day and be on time.
Students absent 22 or more days or with significant lateness
will be liable for Diocesan or Disciplinary Summer School to
make up the missed time. Tuition will be charged. Repetition
of a poor attendance record could result in dismissal. The attendance record is part of the permanent student record.

EARLY DISMISSAL
Students who need to leave school early or arrive late because of
doctor appointments must submit an Early Dismissal Card to
the office no later than 24 hours prior to the appointment or the
parent needs to come to the office to sign the student out. Please
follow this procedure so that your child’s attendance is kept
accurate.

DISCIPLINE SUMMER SCHOOL
Students who have failed discipline for the year are required to
attend discipline summer school. A discipline failure occurs
when a student accumulates 60 or more demerits for the entire
year. Discipline summer school will be held from Monday,
June 15th through Friday, June 19th. from 8:00 am to 11:00 am
each day. Tuition is $100.00 for the week. Students who failed
discipline and plan to return to Carroll next year must attend
discipline summer school.

PROMS / DANCES
Students who failed discipline are not permitted to attend his/her
class prom or any other Carroll dance. A discipline failure occurs when a student has received 60 or more demerits in the

frequent, not all school districts will provide afternoon transportation. The list for the districts not providing early dismissal
transportation will be published in the daily bulletin and posted
on our website as those days draw near. Please check our calendar and website for early dismissals and days off. The calendar

 Also, as part of the Graduation ceremony, a booklet is composed, listing ALL of the scholarships and

Mike Duf
Director of Ad issio s
As we refine the Class of 2019, it is not too
early to begin our quest for our third consecutive
300+ class - the Class of 2020. We expect the Class
of 2019 to be a vibrant and exceptional addition to
our already outstanding student body. If you know of
someone who has yet to decide for next September,
please have them contact the Admissions Office to
arrange for a Shadow Day or encourage them to apply
as soon as possible. With our mix of partner schools,
our students portray a variety of social and economic
backgrounds and we become a melting pot to create
President Fox’s secret sauce. Our students learn to
adapt and make friends easily as they all become part
of the Carroll family.
The next big event on the horizon is geared to
the Class of 2020. This year, seventh graders
throughout the diocese are invited to visit Carroll on
Thursday, April 16th to Experience Carroll. They
will have the opportunity to spend a day at Carroll
and see what we have to offer them. Arrangements
can be made through our partner schools or by contacting the Admissions Office at 610-688-7610, ext.
117.
If we all work together, we will reach our goal
of providing a quality, Catholic, value-centered education to everyone who seeks to receive such an education.

BLOOD DRIVE
The spring blood drive was Tuesday, March
24th. The drive was held in the Archbishop Carroll
West Gym from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm. The drive was
once again dedicated to the memory of Christopher
Jones (Class of 2007) who died of a rare blood disease.
Recipients of the Christopher Jones Memorial Scholarship work with the Red Cross along with
the Honors Anatomy and Physiology class. Please
look at the Carroll website in September for the Fall
Blood Drive date. Any parent or student, age 16
(with parent permission) who wishes to donate may
do so by making an appointment at the school.

students for their support of this vital community
effort.
