I am so excited to join Walnut Grove Elementary as the Assistant Principal this school year! This will be my 21st year in education and 1st in admin. I have taught 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade and was most recently a Learning Liaison in GCISD. I have enjoyed building my leadership skills through working with district directors, writing curriculum, and leading professional development.
I love to read, go to the movies (mostly to eat popcorn!), and travel. I am originally from New Orleans and frequently visit family there and the beautiful Gulf Coast beaches of 30A. My son will be entering 7th grade this year and enjoys playing soccer, which means we spend a lot of time on the soccer fields and attend a lot of FC Dallas games.
I am looking forward to being a Dragon and a part of the Carroll ISD family!
Tina Green, Counselor
I am so excited to have the opportunity to be your child’s school counselor.
I have been in education for over twenty years and have worked in public and private schools as a teacher or school counselor. My experience ranges from pre-school to high school. I found that I love kiddos of all ages because there is always something to learn from every stage! My undergraduate degree is in Elementary Education with a specialization in Early Childhood, and I have a Master’s degree in School Counseling.
My husband, Kayle, and I moved to Southlake from Dallas in 2005. Kayle is an investment banker with Stifel. Our daughter, Addisyn, graduated from CSHS in 2019 and Southern Methodist University in May 2023. Our son, Carson, is a 2022 CSHS grad and is a sophomore at TCU. We have three fur babies: Lulu, Jojo and Baker.
Thank you for sharing your sweet child with me. As a parent, I know how important it is for children to feel loved and safe when away from home. I want you to know that I will take care of your little blessing as I would want others to take care of my two. I look forward to an amazing year with you and your child.
Fondly,
Tina Green
