Sarah Carlson Principal Dover-Eyota High School & Middle School
Go EAGLES!
I am proud to begin my fourth year as the High School principal at Dover-Eyota. In 2025-2026 I have the honor of serving as the principal for all grades 6-12. As we prepare for the school year, I am excited to welcome back students and experience another wonderful year.
Before becoming Principal in Dover-Eyota, I served as a Teaching & Learning Specialist in DE. Previous to that I was a teacher and instructional coach in Rochester Public Schools for nearly 20 years. My primary work was in the middle schools, and I am thrilled to add Middle School Principal to my work here at DE.
Our goal at Dover-Eyota is to help all students learn and grow. We work together every day to RISE to the challenges set before us. When we cooperate, we can accomplish great things! I recognize that everyone needs different things to succeed, and I work closely with staff, students, and families to find what will work best for each child. If you ever would like to meet with me to discuss your child's needs, please reach out! If you ever have questions or concerns, I would love to talk through them. Open communication is the best way to find common ground and to collaborate effectively.
I send out a weekly newsletter to parents and guardians called Eagle Insights. If you aren't currently receiving it, check your contact information in JMC.
Outside of school I am a wife and mother. I have two sons: Malachi is a Senior this year, and Isaac is a Freshman. We love to spend our time together traveling, eating out, and going to MN sports games.
