Congratulations to Carr Elementary School in Dallas! The school has earned recertification as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School for infusing leadership education across the curriculum.

Carr Elementary earned recertification as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. The honor is presented by Franklin Covey Education and recognizes the school’s outstanding efforts to integrate Covey’s seven leadership habits across the curriculum, which contributes to student growth, building relationships, achieving common goals, and upholding the belief that everyone can be a leader.

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
