Bridget Carter graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia with a Bachelor of Arts in English. Initially, she enjoyed a career in the corporate travel industry, focusing on selling, planning, and implementing incentive travel for major corporations. However, as her family grew, she transitioned to being a stay-at-home mom, moving states several times over ten years. During this period, she became actively involved in the Catholic schools her children attended, volunteering and serving on the PTO. Her experiences reinforced her passion for Catholic education.
After moving to Birmingham, Bridget continued her education at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, studying secondary education. For almost 20 years, she has been associated with Prince of Peace Church and School, working as both a middle school teacher (teaching English, Creative Writing, and Religion) and a church staff member. Her current role as the Assistant Principal, focusing on middle school operations, has been particularly fulfilling. Bridget is committed to preparing students for the challenges of high school and helping each student achieve their full potential.
