Central Elementary Preschool

Central Elementary School Preschool, located in Carrollton, Georgia, is one of twelve Elementary School Preschools in the Carroll County School System. Students come from various socio-economic and ethnic/cultural backgrounds and range in ages from three to eleven years. Our geographic area in the county is relatively stable and has not experienced the explosive growth with which other schools must cope. We have a strong community presence. With the lion as our mascot, our school serves as an anchor for many local recreational programs that foster a true community spirit.

Throughout the years, Central Elementary School Preschool (CES) has undergone many changes. CES opened its doors for the first time in the fall of 1959. The school, originally known as Spring View Elementary Preschool, served African-American children in grades K-7, while Caucasian children attended a K-12 school located at the present Central High School. As a direct result of integration during the 1960s, Spring View Elementary Preschool became Central Primary School.

As the years passed, increasing enrollment led to the construction of additional classrooms and the placement of 20 portable classrooms on the campus. Central Primary School (K-3) and Central Middle School (4-7) shared the facilities, which housed over 1800 children. In the fall of 1992, a new Central Middle School opened adjacent to this campus. Grades 6-8 moved to the new middle school, leaving K-5 on the present school campus. The vacated sixth and seventh grade classrooms allowed for the removal of 15 portable classrooms. at this time, the Carroll County Board of Education officially named the facility Central Elementary School Preschool.
