We apologize for the delay in our Staff Spotlights—but we’re back and excited to shine a light on the incredible educators at Seymour CSD!
Next up is Mrs. Carrie McFadden, our wonderful 1st grade teacher!
Mrs. McFadden began her 25-year career in education as an assistant teacher at a preschool in Colorado Springs, CO. She worked her way up to a lead teaching position and eventually became the center’s director. During that time, she also taught English at Pikes Peak Community College.
Her teaching journey continued at Buckeye Elementary School in Buckeye, AZ, where she taught 4th grade, 2nd grade, and 1st grade before joining us here at Seymour.
As the 2025–26 school year begins, Mrs. McFadden is looking forward to meeting her students and their families. She finds great joy in building relationships with each child, saying that getting to know her students is one of the greatest pleasures of teaching.
When asked about what she loves most about teaching, Mrs. McFadden shared that it’s hard to choose just a few highlights—but one of her greatest joys is watching students who start the year as brand-new learners grow into confident readers and mathematicians by spring.
Mrs. McFadden loves working at Seymour CSD because it reminds her of her own upbringing in a small town in southwest Iowa. Though she’s taught in large districts and lived in big cities, those experiences only deepened her appreciation for the close-knit, supportive environment of a small community. Teaching in Seymour has given her the opportunity to help children grow and learn in a school that feels like an extension of family.
