News and Announcements

We sat down with ACHS Principal Élana Gilmore for a Q&A about her journey from a career as a toxicologist to a educator!

We are hosting a great opportunity to help serve the community on Saturday, March 16, 2019 during our annual Hoderny Service Day.

This story of two classmates from opposite coasts reminds us that no matter what is going on around us, humans (and especially Carroll grads) are inherently good.

We aren't talking about the pigskin, we are talking about the international pastime known in America as soccer. Our Carroll Boys Varsity Soccer team has grown from a team of seven to a team of 17. Not only have they grown in number, they have dominated the soccer pitch (field), winning both of their games this season. Their chemistry on the field is a direct result of their growing camaraderie off the field.

It is nearly impossible to be a member of the Carroll community and not be impacted by our own Father John Mudd '61. So it is hardly a surprise that the Catholic Business Network of Washington, DC (CBN-DC) named him Clergy of the Year, and will be honoring him at their 4th Annual Gala next month.

This fall we welcome a new batch of students into the Carroll family, but one student in particular is no stranger to the mighty green and gold. Daryll D. Butler II is the son of... you guessed it, Daryll Butler, Esq. His rich family legacy within Carroll also includes President of the Board of Directors, Roger Fairfax, Esq., and John Fairfax who was a member of Carroll's first graduating class.

If you would have asked a 15-year-old Paul Dressler if he would be a Catholic priest in 2017, the answer would have been a quick no. The child of a Jewish father and a Southern Baptist mother, Fr. Dressler spent his formative years as a football player and a member of the wrestling team. During his junior year at Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring, Maryland, the Baptist Evangelical teen attended a retreat sponsored by the local Catholic Church of St. Peter's; this was the initial spark in his life of Catholic service. At age 17, he officially converted to Catholicism and chose to attend Mount St. Mary's College to pursue his degree while being immersed in the Catholic faith. During his collegiate years, he sensed his calling to priesthood, but continued to wrestle with the traditional familial path of life.

Who is a member of a championship Carroll basketball team, the former chair of the math department, and mother of a freshman Lion? Our new Dean of Students, Kristin Jackson-Nesmith.
