McCarroll Middle School

Decatur is under a tornado warning per the National Weather service. Due to the fact that buses are en route schools will be opened at normal times; however, our priority is the safety of all. Please wait until weather passes to travel and stay safe.

Last Live Thankfully update: Mrs. Womble is in the lead with Coach Schneider and Mrs. Thornton close behind. (All three classes have over 500 items!) Tomorrow is the final day that donations will be accepted.

2022: The year the cougars went EXTINCT! 🏈🦅 MMS is rooting for you, Decatur Football! #weAREdecatur

Do you have a shelter pet? Show us your furry friend in the comments below! 🐈🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺🦮🐕🐩 Saving animals is a community effort, and AVID is asking you to help support our local Wise County Animal Shelter. AVID is more than a class. It’s a philosophy. It’s the idea that “effort creates ability.” While the mission of AVID is to help STUDENTS develop the skills they need to be successful in the future, the program places special emphasis on teamwork and organization. Let’s work together to give these animals a new leash on life! ❤️💚❤️💚❤️ Community service is both the AVID and Decatur way, and we’d love for you to join us in showering our furry friends with love this Christmas!

MMS staff was able to “Eat Mor Chikin” today, thanks to the generosity of Grace Fellowship and our hard working PTO. Thank you for your support, and thank you for taking the guess work out of today’s lunch plan! 😋🍽️ #12DaysofChristmas

Ever feel like an “outsider”? Our seventh grade ELA department has been reading the namesake novel written by S.E. Hinton, and students have been busy reviewing the literature elements of the novel. Our ELA teachers work hard to plan fun and interactive opportunities, ensuring there are NO MMS literature outsiders! #mmsLIT 📖📚

Ferris Bueller NEVER would have taken a day off, had he attended McCarroll Middle School. 📚😜 Seventh grade students are showing how fun school can be, as they’re leading our attendance competition. It’s pretty exciting to be at school when dissecting frogs is part of the curriculum! Mrs. Sapp and Mrs. Goins are taking learning to a new level with this up close and personal biology lab. 🐸☠️

It may STILL be Election Week in America, but the votes have been cast and counted in the McCarroll Middle School Student Council election. The results are in, and our 2022 StuCo officers are Marley Ballard (President), Jazlyn Flores (Vice President), Hannah Sears (Treasurer), Luke Lowery (Secretary), and Daisy Flores (Historian). We're proud to announce that Student Council is BACK, and these officers, along with their fellow Student Council members, are already hard at work. Their latest endeavor was to serve wherever needed on Veterans Day - and man, were they a HUGE help! We can't wait to see what great things this group will accomplish not only this year, but beyond. #studentleaders #ourfutureisbright
