Principal Mrs. Carrie MacAllaster

I am honored to continue serving as the principal of North Forsyth High School for the 2026–2027 school year. It is truly a privilege to work alongside our incredible students, dedicated staff, and supportive families as we continue building an exceptional educational experience for every Raider.

As I reflect on last school year, I can honestly say that I had a fantastic year because of the phenomenal staff and student body I had the privilege of working with each day. Their commitment, resilience, positivity, and Raider spirit made North Forsyth a place where students were not only successful, but also felt connected, supported, and inspired. I am deeply grateful for the relationships we built and the accomplishments we celebrated together.

I have been in education for 29 years, with 27 of those years spent at the high school level serving as an English teacher, instructional technology specialist, media specialist, assistant principal, and principal. 

I began my career in Forsyth County during the 2013–2014 school year, and I live in the North Forsyth High School community, where my three children 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.

At North Forsyth, we believe in creating a school culture where every student can grow, thrive, and pursue their passions. I am committed to fostering a safe, connected, and inclusive environment that encourages academic excellence, athletic achievement, personal growth, and meaningful community engagement. 

One message I share with our students every day is simple:

Work Hard. Be Kind. Have Fun!

These four words capture what we hope every Raider experiences at North Forsyth. We want our students to pursue excellence, treat others with kindness and respect, and enjoy the journey along the way.

It is a privilege to be a student in Forsyth County Schools, but it is an even bigger privilege to be a North Forsyth Raider. I am excited for another outstanding year and look forward to partnering with our students, staff, families, and community as we continue to make Raider Nation a place of excellence and belonging for all.

I am truly grateful to be part of this extraordinary team and look forward to all that we will accomplish together this year.

Go Raiders!

Work Hard. Be Kind. Have Fun!

With 32 years in education, I continue to be honored to serve the students, staff, and community of North Forsyth High School as Assistant Principal. My career began in Broward County, Florida, before my family and I moved to Forsyth County in 2006. Alongside my amazing wife, Chrissy, and our two children, Brett and Jenna, I found a home in this incredible community. I began my career in Forsyth County as a social studies teacher at South Forsyth High School and was fortunate to grow into leadership roles as Assistant Administrator and Assistant Principal.

After spending 18 rewarding years at South Forsyth High School, I joined the North Forsyth High School family and thoroughly enjoyed my first year as a Raider. During the past year, I have had the opportunity to support the Math and Social Studies departments, assist with schoolwide testing and assessment coordination, and help organize pep rallies and other events that foster school spirit and strengthen our Raider community.

As I begin my second year at North Forsyth, I remain committed to supporting student success, building strong relationships with students, staff, and families, and creating a positive school culture where everyone feels valued and empowered to succeed.
