My name is Rachel Carson. I am excited to continue with Garland ISD as the Assistant Principal at Luna Elementary. Many of our families may already know me as I was a Lower Elementary Montessori teacher at Luna for 8 years. As I had a part in helping to establish the Montessori Philosophy of Education at Luna, I am excited to be able to continue to support our campus in another role.

I grew up in Garland and am a product of our distinguished district. I graduated from Naaman Forest High School. From there I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas Dallas and my Master’s degree from Stephen F. Austin State University. I have continued my career in Education at Garland ISD for the last 18 years with experience in grades Pre-K to 5th grade.

I love my family. I have two daughters, one dog, one cat, one fire-bellied toad, and a wonderful husband. We enjoy spending time and traveling with our big extended family. We also enjoy going to cheer on our favorite teams when they play. Go Dallas Mavericks and The Texas Rangers!

I am committed to the students and families in our district and community. It is my pleasure and privilege to continue serving our district and campus as I work to inspire Luna’s vision of nurturing lifelong learning for our students.
