Welcome to a new school year! My name is Lisa Mendez and I am honored to continue serving as the principal of Carson Elementary. It is a privilege to partner with our students, families, and staff as we begin another exciting year of learning and growth.
My educational career began in San Antonio ISD before I joined Northside ISD, where I have served in a variety of instructional and leadership roles. I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of the Incarnate Word and my master's degree in Educational Leadership from The University of Texas at San Antonio.
Carson is truly a special place, and I am committed to ensuring every student learns in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where they can thrive. This year, our district theme, Driven with Purpose, reminds us to approach each day with intention, keeping students at the heart of every decision we make. I value the partnership we share with our families and believe that together we can help every child reach their full potential.
I look forward to another wonderful year of learning, growth, and success. Here's to a fantastic year, Driven with Purpose!
Sincerely,
Lisa Mendez

I am honored to serve as the Associate Principal at Carson Elementary! Prior to joining the Carson family, I proudly served as the Associate Principal at McAndrew Elementary for four years. My journey in education began in the classroom, where I've taught 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grade. I’ve had the privilege of serving the Northside community for the past 15 years. My passion for learning, kids, and collaborative teamwork naturally led me into school leadership. I firmly believe when staff, students, and families work together, amazing things happen. Let's make it a great year, Cowboys!
