My name is Brenda Carr. I have worked for DMPS for 15 years, in the Metro Kids program as an supervisor at Studebaker. I worked in the summer at Park Ave, Morris, River Woods and Samuelson. I have been a long-term sub at McKinely, Park Ave and Wright. I have also subbed at Garten, Howe, Brubaker, Perkins, South Union, Love Joy, Jefferson, Winsor, Hubbell, Hanawalt, and Jackson.

I am married and have two daughters and one son. I have four grandsons, a grand dog and grand kitty. I have lived in Des Moines over 33 yrs. I also lived in Virginia, New Jersey, Germany, Kansas, Korea, Colorado, and Okinawa. My father was in the Army, which gave me the opportunity to live in Germany, Korea and Okinawa. I truly enjoyed living in foreign countries and learning the different cultures and some of the languages.

This is my first year at Jackson. I’m a Sped Associate. I enjoy working with students. The staff at Jackson awesome! Everyone has made me feel as if I’ve been here for years. I look forward to meeting our student body and families.
