Carrie Wilkinson
Secretary, Continuous Curriculum School
Carrie has lived and worked in the East Valley School District for 28 years. She is the mother of three children by birth and three through marriage, and the proud grandmother of sixteen, three of whom are from Haiti. She also has an amazingly patient husband of 43 years.
Carrie enjoys kayaking, hiking, gardening, baking, reading, and spending time with her grandchildren. She loves walking, music, people, and especially when her husband cooks. In the past couple of years, Gonzaga Women’s Volleyball has also become a favorite new interest of hers.
Why she loves CCS: “I was the first paraeducator hired at CCS, so my children and I started together. The calendar, the parent involvement, and the staff drew me in and kept me here when my children moved on to college. I am a better person for being here and spending time with the amazing students, staff, and families.”
Why she chose East Valley: “My three children graduated from EVHS. East Valley has always been home to our family.”
Favorite part of her job: “A huge part of my job is giving people what they need to be successful and do their job. I love seeing the successes of students, parents, teachers, and admin.”
Fun fact: Many years ago, Carrie played the part of Eponine in a production of Les Misérables in San Diego.
