Democratic Advocate August 16, 1971: Vo Tech School To Open

Vo Tech School To Open

Democratic Advocate August 16, 1971

Vo Tech School To Open - Despite past delays, the Carroll County Vocational Technical Center will open its doors on schedule September 7 for the first year operation of the new program, a school official said this week.

Frank Mather, administrator of the center, said that all of the school's facilities except for the horticulture area, conference rooms and some lavatories and some equipment will be ready for use on opening day.

Earlier reports indicated the vocational school might not be able to open on time.

"Enough of the school is ready to provide the children with a full day's program," Mather said. No doubt it will present problems," Mather added, "but it's a lot better than leaving the student with a half-day with nothing to do."

The administrator said that in the past few weeks the contractor had put many more men on the job and work was "really moving now."

Dr. Ecker invites folks to visit schools during American Education week


An invitation, from the Carroll County School Superintendent Dr. Charles Ecker, to parents and the community to visit schools during American Education Week

Tue 11/11/2008

Dear Editor,

The week of November 16 – 22 is American Education Week. I would like to extend a warm welcome to our parents and members of the community to come see firsthand the wonderful things taking place in our schools.

The theme for American Education Week this year is Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility. More than ever before this statement is true. Every one of our students deserves the best education we can provide for them. It is their right and our responsibility as a school system. It is also the responsibility of parents and the community to support education in Carroll County. As part of that responsibility, I encourage you to take the time to visit a school in your community this week. I think you will be amazed at what our students and staff are accomplishing.

And please consider this. The time to visit our schools is not just during American Education Week. You are welcome to visit our schools anytime throughout the year. Our doors are always open to you. Take the time to be involved. As I have said many times before, we cannot do it alone. We need you. For us to be successful and for our student to succeed, we must all work together.


Chuck Ecker
Superintendent of Schools

By Kevin Dayhoff May 12, 2008

This Saturday, West Middle School, 60 Monroe Street in Westminster, will celebrate its 50th anniversary from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.

Currently one of nine middle schools in the county for grades six through eight, it was originally built in 1958 alongside the William Winchester Elementary School on a 24-acre portion of the old Albaugh and Babylon farm.

When it was first constructed it was named the Westminster Junior High School and it housed grades seven through nine.

This Saturday the festivities will include 1950s food refreshments, videos and interviews and an antique car show. If you are one of the more than 20,000 students who attended either the middle or junior high school there, this is a wonderful time to revisit. The event is open to the public.
