History

Carlton J. Kell High School received its first students in August, 2002. The school was named for Carlton “Corky” Kell, a highly respected coach and athletic director for the Cobb County School District. In 1965, Coach Kell started the girl’s basketball program at Wheeler High School; he remained the girl’s basketball coach for eleven seasons and was recognized by the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association as the Girl’s Basketball Coach of the Year for 1972. Coach Kell is best remembered for his excellence as the football coach of Wheeler High School, where he coached for eight seasons. Indeed, the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association named him as Georgia’s Football Coach of the Year four different times. Shortly after leaving coaching, he was appointed the Athletic Director for the Cobb County School District and remained in that position until his retirement.

The mascot is the longhorn. The mascot was chosen by Mrs. Carole Kell and student representatives in February, 2001. A graphic artist was invited to the meeting, and she developed the official school logo. The mission of the group was to come up with something original that would be a distinguishing mascot and logo for the school.
