Aldine ISD is pleased to announce that Serjio Medina has been selected as the new principal for Carroll Elementary School.

Medina received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas-Austin and earned his Master’s in Educational Administration from Sam Houston State University.

Medina, an alumnus from Aldine High School, is very familiar with Carroll Elementary. It is the elementary school Medina attended as a student in Aldine. Upon graduating from UT, Medina returned to Aldine ISD and began his career in education in 2013 as a fourth-grade math and science teacher at Bussey Elementary.

A few years later, Medina transferred to Smith Elementary, where he served as a teacher and took a leadership role as an instructional leader. In 2017, Medina was named the assistant principal of Gray Elementary.

Over the years, Medina gained acknowledgment for developing new, engaging teaching practices, creating a positive school culture centered on student achievement, and building parent engagement.

Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney, Superintendent of Schools, stated, “I have said it many times before — Leadership matters. Sergio is an amazing leader. He is capable of inspiring, leading, and supporting his staff and forging relationships with families to increase student outcomes and success. We are looking for these characteristics in leadership as we continue to build on our strategic plan to ensure our students have access to high-quality schools and learning experiences.”

Medina is an advocate for equity in education for all students. He firmly believes that education is critical to help one generation at a time to achieve the American dream. Medina believes that it prepares students for their future and gives them more choices and opportunities in life. Each time students meet their goals, they are closer to making the next generation of their families better and leaving them with new goals and higher expectations.

“While my Gray Elementary family will always have a special place in my heart, it is an honor to be given the opportunity to lead Carroll Elementary. The staff members and I are working together to build on the school’s success,” said Medina.

Medina, who began leading Carroll Elementary in June, reports to his respective School Assistant Superintendent and the Chief of Schools, Katherine Roede.
