Carter graduated from North Central High School in 1998. Eleven years later, Carter risked his life multiple times to deliver ammunition and medical aid to his fellow soldiers during a battle in Afghanistan. His heroism earned him the nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor, which the President of the United States presented him last August.
