Meet Principal Carrington

Hello Inspiration Mountain Families!
I’m truly honored to serve as the Principal at Inspiration Mountain—it’s a privilege to be part of such a caring and dedicated community!
Arizona has always been home, and from a young age, I knew my heart was in education. I’ve spent the past 26 years in the Deer Valley School District, where I’ve had the joy of teaching 4th and 5th grades, working as a K-6 reading specialist, serving as an instructional coach, and, for the past five years, growing in school leadership.
I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, Dan, for 21 years, and together we have two amazing kids, Kyle and Kaitlyn. We also share our home with two lovable goldendoodles, Russell and Peyton. As a family, we love spending time in Pinetop, watching movies, reading great books, and playing games together.
I believe every student has unique strengths and the potential to make a meaningful difference in the world. I look forward to supporting the staff, students, and community of Inspiration Mountain!
With gratitude,
Mrs. Carrington
