Get to know our incredible team in the “Meet our Staff” Monday series! We hope you enjoy getting to know the faces behind the scenes! #MeetOurStaffMonday #BehindTheScenes #EmployeeAppreciation #GetToKnowUs #SWSDStrongerTogether Meet Our Staff: Carrie Newby Carrie Newby currently holds the position of 6th-grade teacher at Central Elementary School. With five years of experience within the district, and 31 years total in education, she brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to her role. Born and raised here, she graduated from Sedro-Woolley High School in 1988. Contrary to her current path in education, as a 12-year-old in Mr. Fitzgerald's 6th-grade class, she envisioned herself pursuing a career in law. However, her aspirations evolved during high school, ultimately leading her to the field of education. Carrie holds a master's degree in education and is nationally board certified. She cherishes moments when former students approach her with fond memories of their time in her classes, underscoring the impact she has had on their lives. Last year, she received the honor of being named Central's Employee of the Year, a testament to her dedication and positive influence. Outside the classroom, she enjoys spending time outdoors and at her cabin in Danville. Carrie's passion lies in teaching and creating a safe space for students to feel a sense of belonging. Her professional goal is to conclude her career in her hometown, while leaving an enduring impact on the students she encounters. Her advice to students is simple: follow your dreams but always remember where you come from. For Carrie, Sedro-Woolley School District is more than an educational institution; it's a family. She hopes that every student takes away the understanding that the district will always be a place they can come back to, fostering a sense of belonging and community.
