Principal’s Message

Chrystal WhiteI am excited to welcome many of you back and to greet others to our school community for the first time. As the new principal of Benjamin Carson Academy of Science, I can tell you firsthand that our school’s commitment to excellence will not be exceeded by any other school in the country!

Our school’s leadership team has worked hard to help us continue the tradition of excellence here at Carson Academy. Our goal is to continually improve our ability to meet the needs of all students and to increase our ability to effectively communicate with parents. Although we have made gains in our students’ academic performance over the years, we are not satisfied if any of our students do not meet high standards. Over the course of the year, you will be invited to work with us as we monitor our progress in these areas.

My vision for Carson Academy is for us to constantly demonstrate our commitment to excellence through our expectations for our students. We will show our students how much we care for them by expecting all of them to succeed and excel.

Yours in Service,
Chrystal White, Principal
