Curse of the Class of 2006
This story explains how the class of 2006 became known as the “cursed class” due to the number of deaths during and following the 2006 school year. The school, Carol City Senior High, was one of the best based on the facility and placed in a location still considered farmland. But after students were bused in from surrounding neighborhoods, things began to change and academics fell to the back burner, while athletics excelled. Further, many students believed the atmosphere became very ghetto, which led to several deaths from the class of 2006, who were considered top students.
