In 1959, Carroll became an Independent School District. In 1965, Carroll ISD was fully accredited for primary and secondary education. The original Carroll High School opened in 1970. In 1992, a new campus was opened and served grades 9–12 until the year 2000, when 9th grade was moved to Carroll Junior High School (now Carroll High School) to accommodate growth.
