From its opening in 1919 until the 1960s, when new
schools were built, the Carroll School was the
centerpiece of the community. It's where both Carroll
ISD and the city of Southlake got their start.
The 1960s were big for Carroll School. A uniformed
Dragon football team took the field in 1960, CISD
became fully accredited and the district's first
graduating class walked across the stage in the

During our research, we learned that no matter the
decade, Southlake school and city leaders shared
the juggle and struggle of balancing commercial
growth (and the taxes it brings), population influx
and the wants and dislikes of residents.
And something else remains the same: a recurring
lament from folks about change. It's a cry that
councilman Ralph Evans described as "I'm in the
boat, pull up the rope." And so it continues.
