🖤 Please join us in welcoming our newest Assistant Principal, Mrs. Jessica Harrison! 🖤
We are so excited to have Mrs. Harrison joining the Carpenters Elementary family this school year! She will be serving alongside Mr. Walker and Ms. Johnson on Mondays and Tuesdays, and we know our students, staff, and families will love getting to know her.
Mrs. Harrison brings 10 years of experience as a special education teacher and is passionate about helping every student grow, succeed, and feel supported. She and her husband have three wonderful children and enjoy spending time together exploring East Tennessee, visiting the beach or the lake, and making family memories.
A fun fact about Mrs. Harrison—before becoming a teacher, she was a performer at the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud in Pigeon Forge! 🎭
We’re thrilled to welcome Mrs. Harrison to the Cougar Cub family and can’t wait for the amazing impact she’ll have on our school community.
