Ivy Leavitt-Carlson
Assistant Principal
I am so happy to be joining the Paul School this year as the Assistant Principal! I started my education career at as a science teacher at Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro more than twenty years ago. From there, my husband Seth and I spent two years in rural South Africa as US Peace Corps volunteers, where we worked with teachers at three k-8 schools to help improve instructional practices and prepare learners for a more democratic and equal South Africa. My experiences there helped shape many of my beliefs about the importance and power of education.
For the last fifteen years I have worked at Laconia High School, where I served as a life science and BioMedical technology teacher and co-chair for the Science department. I love to learn, and science involves the wonder of uncovering explanations for ordinary phenomena. Helping students become invested and involved in their own learning process is a passion of mine.
I earned my Master’s in Educational Leadership at Plymouth State University in the spring of 2022. I accomplished this with ample support from my family, as completing my masters through a pandemic while teaching full time required a team behind me. I am lucky to have such a supportive husband who actively cheers me on, and incredible, inquisitive, and kind children who are so excited to be a part of this journey with me.
Thank you for inviting me to be a part of the Paul School team and to help our students gain the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world!
