“BMSN has a proud legacy to uphold, and Mr. Carr is the right leader to guide the campus into the future,” Superintendent Kristin Craft said in the release. “We are excited to see the positive impact his elevated leadership will have at North and look forward to the continued success of our students and staff.”
Carr joined the district in 2022 and has been assistant principal at BMSN since 2023, the release said.

He was released after posting a $10,000 bail.
