Ms. SanJacinto was born and raised in the Fort Worth area.  She received her bachelors in English and education from The Texas University at Arlington and her masters in School Leadership from Southern Methodist University.  Before joining Fort Worth ISD, Ms. SanJacinto supported students, staff, and families in Irving ISD, Castleberry ISD, and at Richard Milburn Academy.  She is beginning her 4th year as principal of Carroll Peak Elementary and her 17th year in education.  Her core belief about educational leadership is that students and staff should experience joy and success daily.  

We are beyond excited to welcome our new Assistant Principal, Paula Silva, to the Carroll Peak family!

 A little about Mrs. Silva: She loves FWISD and just completed her 25th year of service in the district.   Originally from a military family, she grew up in Norfolk, Virginia. Both her parents are from Texas, so she migrated back south to attended University of North Texas.   After teaching for over 10 years on the east side of Fort Worth, she went on to earn a Master's in Math education from Texas State and then pursued a principal's certification from UT Arlington.  

 Mrs. Silva will be an asset as she brings her seven years’ experience and expertise as an assistant principal, in both elementary and middle school. She also has experience at this district level where she worked in Accountability and Data Quality (ADQ) to learn about assessment and became adept in student accommodations.
