Bryonn Willms, Principal

Bulldog Families,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to another exciting school year at Carthage Elementary School! Our school has a long standing reputation for excellence, built on strong relationships, high expectations, and a commitment to helping every student succeed. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve such an outstanding school community and continue the important work that makes Carthage Elementary School a special place for students and families.

As I enter my 19th year in education, I continue to be inspired by the impact schools have on students and families. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of serving in a variety of educational roles, including teaching multiple elementary grade levels in both North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Since 2021, I have served in school leadership, working alongside educators, students, and families to create positive learning experiences. Outside of school, my wife and I are raising two children who attend Moore County Schools, giving us a firsthand appreciation for the important role schools play in shaping young lives.

One of my greatest priorities as principal is ensuring that every student, family, and staff member feels a sense of belonging. I believe successful schools are built on meaningful relationships, open communication, and mutual respect. Whether connecting with students around campus, supporting teachers in classrooms, or partnering with families, I strive to be present, approachable, and responsive to the needs of our school community.

Carthage Elementary School already has a strong tradition of success, and I am committed to working with our talented faculty and staff to continue moving our school forward. Together, we will provide engaging learning opportunities, maintain high academic standards, and create a nurturing environment where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Families are an essential part of this work. We value your partnership and encourage you to stay involved throughout the school year. By working together, we can ensure that every student feels supported, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Whether this is your first year at Carthage Elementary School or you have been a member of our Bulldog family for many years, I am excited to partner with you. Thank you for entrusting us with your student's education. We look forward to a fantastic school year as we continue to be Bulldog Strong!

Warm regards,


Bryonn Willms, Principal
