Principal’s Message

Welcome to the Carver School for Mathematics, Science, and Technology!

As the principal of a newly designated National Blue Ribbon School, it is my honor to welcome you to another exciting year at CMST. This prestigious recognition is a testament to the unwavering dedication of our teachers, staff, students, and families. It reflects the high standards we hold for academic excellence, the strong relationships we build, and the shared belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.

This handbook remains a vital resource designed to support you throughout the school year. Inside, you'll find important information about our school policies, procedures, and programs. I encourage you to review it carefully and refer to it often as you navigate the year ahead.

At CMST, our commitment to excellence extends beyond the classroom. We recognize that strong partnerships between home and school are essential to student success, and we welcome and encourage family engagement in every aspect of our school community.

I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together and excited about what lies ahead. Our National Blue Ribbon status marks a milestone—but it’s also a reminder of what we are capable of when we work together toward a shared vision. If you have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My door is always open, and my team and I are here to help in any way we can.

Thank you for being part of our award-winning CMST community. Let’s make this year another one to remember. GO WOLVES!

 

Assistant Principal- Mrs. Tana Griffith

Welcome to CMST! I am Mrs. Griffith, the Assistant Principal, and I am beginning my twenty-fifth year in education and my fourth year at CMST. I have previously taught Kindergarten, first grade, third grade, and served as a Reading Coach. In my spare time I love spending time with family (married to Cameron with two children- Claire and Cooper), being outdoors near the water, and attending sporting events particularly college football games and Braves games. I also love to shop and Diet Coke is my jam! I am a huge Alabama fan, although my daughter will soon begin her second year at Auburn. I look forward to spending this year with all of you as one of your leaders! Please feel free to reach out at anytime. I am always here to assist you and make your time at Carver some of your best years in DCS.
