Dear Students and Parents:

I am honored to be the new principal of Carrollton Elementary for the 2023-2024 school year.  I am proud of what we have accomplished over the last several years and want you to know that we are not done yet.  

Our maintenance and custodial staff have done an incredible job over the summer to get our building and campus ready for learning.  The office staff is back in the building working hard to finalize all the details so both students and staff can have a smooth start to the school year.  Teachers have been in over the last few weeks transforming the classrooms into  learning spaces.  They pour their hearts and souls into both classrooms and students.

I am committed to creating positive learning environments for both students and staff while providing them with the resources they need to reach their full potential. It is important for me to continue to build and maintain relationships not only with our students, but also with their caretakers and other community members.  

We will always keep students as the primary focus of our work.  I welcome collaboration, positive input, and problem solving throughout the year. I look forward to working together.  Please feel free to contact me via email at the address below or call the office to make an appointment.

It’s a great time to be a Warrior!
