Carrie Fitzpatrick Taking Role In MISD Superintendent's Office

MONTGOMERY, TX — Montgomery Elementary School Principal Carrie Fitzpatrick has been appointed the Montgomery ISD assistant superintendent of elementary education by Superintendent Heath Morrison, the district announced in a press release Wednesday.

Fitzpatrick’s new role will be supporting the district’s six elementary schools and helping grow and bolster campus leadership as part of the superintendent’s senior leadership team. She will start the position at the end of the school year.

“It has been a privilege and an honor to serve the Montgomery Elementary School community as its principal,” Fitzpatrick said. “I will dearly miss my Bearcat family, but I could not be more excited for the incredible opportunity to continue serving Montgomery ISD in this leadership role.”

Fitzpatrick served as Montgomery Elementary School’s principal for four years, part of her 23 years in public education, which also includes a 13-year stint as a principal in Conroe ISD.

“Carrie is an extraordinarily talented and transformative leader in our district,” Morrison said in the release. “I am thrilled to welcome her to this important role and excited to see the amazing impact her leadership and high standard of excellence will have on student achievement across Montgomery ISD.”

Fitzpatrick replaces Wendy Graves, who is retiring after 30 years at Montgomery ISD, including the last 10 as the assistant superintendent of elementary education. The district will begin its search for a new principal at Montgomery Elementary School.
