Leader in Me Program


Carrie Martin students are taught a rigorous curriculum integrated with the 8 Habits of Highly Effective People. We provide a school culture where students and adults practice social-emotional learning through a leadership lens as part of their everyday school experience. You can expect:

A learning environment that promotes a positive, respectful and kind school community where students feel safe, supported and ready to learn

Students empowered to realize their worth and potential

Staff believing that each student has gifts, talents and leadership abilities

Parents are partners in education knowing that together we can do so much more

A technology-rich environment with one-to-one devices that are used to help promote critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity

It is important to us that our students know they are not only our future leaders – they are today’s leaders. Carrie Martin is a school where students learn, lead and leave a legacy!
