Tuesday, August 23, 2022
Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a hard-working and impactful leader, Ms. Cashoney Carter. Ms. Carter has shown what can be done through hard work, dedication, and a desire to achieve success.
Ms. Cashoney C. Carter is a former Jefferson County High School graduate with 15 years of educational experience in the Jefferson County School District. Her past roles include serving as a teacher, instructional coach, and assistant principal. She currently leads as the principal of Jefferson County Upper Elementary School. She is the proud mother of Harley Elizabeth Carter-Varner.
Ms. Carter has a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Tougaloo College, a Master of Arts in Teaching from Alcorn State University, a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Strayer University and is currently pursuing an advanced degree.
Serving as an educator is a passion for Ms. Carter. When asked why she does this important work, she replied, ``The work I perform is empowered by knowing every scholar under my leadership will have a better opportunity to succeed in the future through a balanced educational curriculum. In addition, my work is driven by ensuring teachers are prepared and equipped to provide the power of education to our youth. When teaching and learning occurs, success is sure to follow.''
``Ms. Carter is a transformational leader who is committed to the success of every child,'' said Adrian Hammitte, Superintendent of Jefferson County School District. ``Under her leadership, Jefferson County Upper Elementary School is projected to earn a C-rating for the 2021-2022 school year after receiving an F-rating for 4 consecutive years. More importantly, her teachers, students, and parents have fully embraced her vision and call-to-action to `Raise the B.A.R.' at the upper elementary school. Therefore, I can confidently say that Ms. Carter is making a difference in our school district and will have a lasting impact on the boys and girls she leads.''
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. Cashoney C. Carter for her passion and dedication to education in the Jefferson County School District.
