Greetings, Eagle Family!  I am Linda Rouse and I am  honored to be your principal.  I have been in education for approximately 31 years.  I began my career as a parent involvement coordinator with Cumberland County Schools. I became a middle school science teacher and then an assistant principal with Cumberland County Schools. 

I joined Wayne County Public Schools as a Dillard Middle teacher in 2004.  From there I  served as an assistant principal at Brogden Primary, Grantham School, Grantham Middle School and Carver Elementary School.  As I principal I served at Edgewood Community Developmental School. 

This year our theme is “To Greater Heights We Rise”.  We understand that we all bring something different to the table.  We expect to tap into those gifts and use them to make our students and our school “SOAR”!  

We welcome you to join us on this “Greater Heights” adventure!

My name is Ms. Tyshaun Bryant and I am a dedicated educator with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Teacher Certification from Elizabeth City State University and a Master's in School Administration from East Carolina University.

I have over 11 years of experience teaching at Carver Heights Elementary and Tommy’s Road Elementary School in the Wayne County Public School System. Additionally, I’ve spent 8 years coaching teachers both at the school and district levels.

I transitioned to an Assistant Principal role with Craven County Public Schools in August 2021 and returned to Wayne County Public Schools in January 2024. I am excited to be back working for Wayne County Public Schools at Carver Heights Elementary, serving students and staff.
