Carrie Larson
Master of Arts in Education/Administration and Supervision, 1998
Carrie Larson was recognized as one of the top 70 elementary educators in 2008 by the Milken Foundation. She is an elementary school principal and her commitment to excellence increased the school’s standardized test scores by 20% from 2005 - 2008.
She also serves as the College of Education program chair for the University of Phoenix Las Vegas Campus, overseeing programs that shape future educators.
“When Carrie is not serving our working adult population as a role model and mentor for future educators, she is leading younger students as principal of C.T. Sewell Elementary School. Therefore, we are particularly grateful to have her on our team,” says Dr. Raymond Garubo, University of Phoenix Campus College Chair of Education in Las Vegas.
Carrie received a $25,000 Milken Educator Award to recognize her dedication to education. The annual award was established to honor up to 80 of the nation’s best elementary educators. In 2008, the field was narrowed to just 70 educators.
