Welcome to Carver Road Middle School!

It’s a true privilege to serve as Assistant Principal at Carver Road Middle School for the 2025–2026 school year. With over a decade of experience in education across multiple grade levels and school settings, I bring a passion for instructional leadership, student engagement, and school-wide success. I’ve always believed that great schools are built on strong relationships, high expectations, and a shared commitment to growth for students and adults alike.

My journey began in the classroom as a middle grades Social Studies teacher, where I quickly discovered the power of connecting content to real-life experiences. I later served as a Media Specialist at both the elementary and high school levels, leading initiatives in literacy, technology integration, and professional learning. These roles gave me a well-rounded perspective on how to support students and teachers at every level. I hold a Bachelor of Science in History from Gordon State College, a Master’s in Education in Instructional Technology from Valdosta State University, and I have earned my Tier I Educational Leadership Certification from the University of West Georgia.

At Carver Road, I am focused on supporting our students in reaching their highest potential while working alongside an incredible team of educators and families. Whether it’s guiding instructional practices, helping students navigate challenges, or celebrating the daily wins that make our school community special, I’m proud to be part of the Eagle family. Let’s make the 2025–2026 school year our best yet!

With pride and purpose,

Mr. Dustin Denson

Welcome!

I am Courtney Wright and I am immensely honored to have served the Griffin-Spalding community for the past 11 years. I began my educational career in 2013 as an eager seventh grade English teacher in room 709 right here at Carver Road Middle School. As I have matriculated through various leadership roles at Carver, I am ecstatic to begin my 2nd year as Assistant Principal for the 2024 - 2025 school year. 

I am a proud alumna of Fort Valley State University where I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Middle Grades Education, and became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Later, I obtained a Master of Education degree in Middle Grades Education from Walden University, and an Educational Specialist degree in Teacher Leadership at Thomas University. I currently hold an Educational Leadership Tier I certification from The University of West Georgia. My husband and I are both administrators, and have two beautiful children. 

In my role as Assistant Principal, I am dedicated to collaborating with our outstanding team of educators, staff, students, and parents to ensure our school remains a place where innovation blossoms, knowledge is cultivated, and personal growth is celebrated.

I look forward to meeting each of you and working together to make this school year a remarkable and successful one!

With Eagle Pride, 

Mrs. Courtney V. Wright, Ed.S.
