Mrs. Rachel Carlson
Welcome to my classroom page! I am Mrs. Carlson and I teach high school English. This will be my second year at North Johnston! I am a graduate of St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA and this will my 20th year as an English teacher. I am originally from Iowa and did my first 15 years of teaching there, but lived and taught for 3 years in Florida before moving here to my dream state of North Carolina. I am a wife, horsewoman, author, dog mom, and I love nature and reading. I am looking forward to another wonderful year at NJHS!
