Mrs. Carrie MacAllaster

I am honored to serve as the principal of North Forsyth High School. It is my absolute privilege to join Raider Nation and have the opportunity to work alongside our incredible students, dedicated staff, and supportive families in building an exceptional educational experience for all.

I have been in education for 28 years, with 26 of those years spent at the high school level teaching English, as an instructional technology specialist (ITS) and media specialist, assistant principal, and principal. I have had the privilege of serving in Gwinnett and Forsyth county specifically including time at South Gwinnett High School, North Gwinnett High School, Gwinnett Online Campus and Georgia Virtual, South Forsyth High School, Forsyth Central High School, and most recently as the principal of Riverwatch Middle School.

I began my career in Forsyth County in the 2013-2014 school year, and I live in the North Forsyth High School community, where my three children have graduated from Forsyth County Schools. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Georgia State University, a master’s degree from the University of North Georgia, and a leadership degree from the University of Georgia.

As I step into this role, I am filled with enthusiasm and gratitude for the opportunity to work with the North Forsyth community to provide an optimal learning environment where every student can grow and thrive in the areas of their passion. I believe in fostering a positive, inclusive, and connected culture that encourages academic and athletic achievement, personal growth, and community engagement.  I am committed to a safe and connected school culture where students, staff and our community can thrive.

I am truly excited to be part of this extraordinary team and look forward to the journey ahead.

I am proud to enter my fifth year as Assistant Principal and my third year at North Forsyth High School. My family is happy to live in the North Forsyth Cluster.
