Carrollton's athletic facilities have been recognized state-wide; Carrollton is one of only a handful of high schools in the nation to feature a "Jumbo-Tron" on their football scoreboard. It is the fifth-largest scoreboard in the state of Georgia, ranking just behind the Braves Stadium, Georgia Dome, University of Georgia, and Georgia Tech scoreboards, respectively. Carrollton has received numerous "AAA Field of the Year" awards for its baseball field, and commonly plays host to the GHSA's state Cross Country meet, as well as a "Last Chance" Invitational. Best known for their Football and Track & Field programs, football has won seven state championships and track & field has won twenty-four state championships. The football program is the 19th winning-est program in the nation. Carrollton also places emphasis on athletics, having secured over fifty state championship titles in various sports including, but not limited to, soccer, baseball, golf, tennis, swimming, cheerleading, basketball, debate, and wrestling.
- In 2007, work began on a now completed state-of-the-art stadium which features artificial turf, an eight-lane track, and brand new infrastructure (pictured below). Construction on the planned Fine Arts complex is on hiatus due to largely insufficient funding, but is expected to resume and be completed in a short while. Less noted at this time are plans for a new Gym/Fitness Center; the expected location of the site can be located behind the parking lot designated for visitors during sporting events.
