My name is Jerry Raymond, Principal at Carroll M
iddle School. This is my 6th year at CMS and 15th year as a principal.  Prior to coming to Carroll, I was middle school principal at Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn for 6 years and high school/middle school principal at Greene for 3 years. Before becoming an administrator, I spent 7 years in the classroom as a science teacher.


My wife Karen is a mathematics teacher at Carroll High School.  We have three children, a daughter Miranda, and two boys, Jalen and Peyton.


Our goal at Carroll Middle School is to provide our students with an educational program centered on middle school philosophy.  We believe in addressing the needs of the emerging adolescent by providing opportunities for each student to recognize and better understand changes in his/her physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development.  This is accomplished by teaching a challenging, relevant, and diverse curriculum in a safe, stimulating environment.


To assist middle school students in discovering and extending their interests and abilities, six exploratory programs are offered at each grade level along with our middle school core curriculum of language arts, mathematics, reading, science and social studies.  An intervention plan as well as course acceleration is made available to students when needs are identified.
