Ms. Carolyn Cirasole

My name is Carolyn Cirasole and I have been given the wonderful opportunity to learn and grow with your children this year.  I have lived in the Apex area for the past 20 years. My husband is an Apex fireman and my two sons, Owen and Carter, attend Apex Friendship High School. When I'm not in the classroom, I love to bake, play games, and watch my two sons play sports. I love to stay busy but can also appreciate down time. Creating the balance is important!

I graduated from Northern Michigan University, continued my education and received a Masters in Teaching from North Carolina State University with a focus in Elementary Education. I have 6 years experience in second grade and 2 years experience in first grade. One could say I love the little ones! My classroom will always be a place where students feel safe to ask questions and explore with excitement. Together we will soar the Apex skies and navigate a happy and successful year at Baucom Elementary!
