CELC
Posted by Jami Bower
 
September 18, 2026:  Joey Key, Kiwanis President; Dr. Mark Albertus, Superintendent; and Dr. Ryan McKinnon, Principal of CELC.
 
The Kiwanis Club of Carrollton met on September 18, 2026, at the at the University of West Georgia's Hubbard Dining Room in West Commons. Our club had the opportunity to host Dr. Mark Albertus, Superintendent of Carrollton City Schools, and Dr. Ryan McKinnon, future Principal for the Carrollton Early Learning Center (CELC). It was exciting to learn about the purchase of 121 acres as the future home of the CELC which will double the property footprint of the current city school system. The literacy and socialization focus of this innovative, round structure will be built with intentionality, cutting edge technology, safety priorities, and conduciveness for learning. The CELC will expand the current Pre-K program to include 3-year-old children. Structural highlights include learning "pods" and indoor/outdoor playgrounds for grooming up-and-coming Trojans!

President's Message

Greetings, and welcome to our Carrollton Kiwanis Club! We have been serving the Carrollton and West Georgia region through service to children of the community since 1947. We were chartered with sponsorship from the Newnan Kiwanis Club, and have donated thousands of dollars and volunteer hours to our community over the decades. We host sponsored projects in an effort to return our proceeds back to efforts that help children live, develop, and grow in a safe and nurturing community. Please join us at one of our weekly Friday lunch meetings to hear about new and noteworthy things affecting our community, and how you can join us in helping the youth of our community.

Thanks, 

Lacey Robinson
