Principal's Message

Dear Carlynton Families and Community,

I’m excited and grateful to kick off my first year as Principal of Carlynton Jr./Sr. High School! After serving as the Junior High Principal last year, I truly appreciated the warm welcome and strong connections I was able to build. I’m honored to continue growing alongside our amazing students, staff, and families in this new role.

Carlynton is a place with rich traditions and a strong sense of pride, and I’m equally excited about the fresh, innovative steps we’re taking to move forward. My goal is to help continue building a school where every student feels seen, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. A positive, respectful, and encouraging school culture is at the heart of everything we do.

Open and honest communication is important to me. I value staying connected and working together with families to support student success. Your voice matters, and I look forward to continuing strong partnerships throughout the year.

One of the things I’m most passionate about is bringing energy and innovation into the school day. From new academic programs to creative enrichment opportunities and strong community partnerships, we’ll keep working to make Carlynton a place where great things happen every day.

I can’t wait to see what this school year brings. Here’s to a year full of growth, opportunity, and Cougar pride!

Go Cougars!

Warmly,
Marsha Burleson
Principal, Carlynton Jr./Sr. High School
