Carly Marten

Principal

Carly grew up in State Center, a small town in central Iowa, where she graduated from West Marshall High School. From there, she attended Iowa State University and studied to become an English/Language Arts teacher while also coaching the West Marshall color guard. While at Iowa State, Carly met her now-husband Evan and, after graduating with her degree, moved to Jacksonville, North Carolina to begin her teaching career at Jacksonville Commons Middle School while Evan served in the Marine Corps. During her time at JCMS, Carly taught both 7th and 8th grade and coached middle school cheerleading. 

After finishing their time in North Carolina, Carly and Evan moved back to Iowa where Carly taught 7th and 8th grade ELA at Winterset Junior High for four years while serving in a variety of teacher-leadership roles. During that time, Carly completed her Master's Degree in Education Administration through the University of Northern Iowa, graduating in 2021. That same year, Carly and Evan moved to Charles City where he accepted the role of Director of Finance and Carly again taught 8th grade Language Arts for one year, and then served one year as Lead Teacher at Washington Elementary, a PK-2 building. 

Carly accepted the role of principal at Fairfield Middle School in 2023. She loves connecting with students and being part of their growth as they develop into young adults, especially middle school aged students, where she has spent the majority of her career. She also loves supporting teachers in increasing student success and empowering them to be the best, most effective teachers they can be.

Outside of school, Carly loves spending time with Evan and their son, Emmitt, cooking and baking, traveling, and reading.
