Administration
Principal Janet Blackwell grew up in the small town of Pleasanton, thirty miles south of San Antonio. She attended Pleasanton High School, where she displayed athletic prowess in several sports. She received a B.A. in Education from Southwestern Assemblies of God University in 1990, the same year she married her husband, Dawain Blackwell. She has taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade, as well as Gifted and Talented and Special Education. She received her M.S. in Educational Administration from Concordia University, Texas.
Her desire is to guide students to look at their lives like races. They must run their own race, meaning that they should not compare themselves to others but instead embrace their unique talents and abilities. If they are distracted by how others are running, they will not discover the course for their lives.
PURPLE is Ms. Blackwell's favorite color, which denotes good judgment and/or happiness. In her spare time, she and her husband love to train for marathons. She has completed 21 marathons and finalized her dream by competing in the 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2023 Boston Marathons. She enjoys reading or watching movies curled up with her dog, Belle, when she is not running.
Mrs. Lindsey Garcia is beginning her 21st year in education. She has served as the Assistant Principal of Rockenbaugh for the past seven months and is eager to start her first full academic year in this role. Prior to her administrative position, Mrs. Garcia worked as the Science and Math Curriculum Coordinator for CISD and taught 2nd and 4th grades at Rockenbaugh.
A native of Garland, Texas, Mrs. Garcia earned her Bachelor’s degree in Education from East Texas Baptist University and subsequently obtained her Master’s degree in Educational Administration from Concordia University.
Mrs. Garcia enjoys spending quality time with her husband, Mike, and their two children, Ben (13) and Harper (7), both of whom attend school in Carroll. She is dedicated to the students, families, and staff of Rockenbaugh and feels fortunate to serve this community.
Mrs. Ashley Aldridge is starting her 15th year in education. She is overjoyed to be in her fourth year as the counselor at Rockenbaugh. Before moving into counseling, Mrs. Aldridge taught 3rd grade at Walnut Grove Elementary for 9 years and prior to that she spent time in 5th grade, 6th grade and 8th grade classrooms.
After growing up in Crowley, Texas, Ashley moved to College Station for her college years. She graduated from Texas A&M University in 2010 with a Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies and then again in 2016 with a Masters in School Counseling. Needless to say, her family bleeds maroon! Whoop!
Mrs. Aldridge is not the only counselor in the family, her husband Adam is a middle school counselor in Northwest ISD. Ashley has two little ones of her own that definitely keep her on her toes- Grayson is 5 years old and is starting Kindergarten this year and Avery is 3 years old.
Mrs. Aldridge loves spending time with her babies, traveling, crafting and shopping. She cannot wait to continue to learn and grow with all the amazing kiddos at RES and help them navigate these precious elementary years!
I was born in Brooklyn New York but was raised in southern Louisiana in Sulphur. I started my police career in Louisiana with the Port of Lake Charles Police Department. I moved to the City of Lake Charles in 1987 where I served as a Corporal. In 1990 I started working for the DFW Airport Department of Public Safety where I spent over 25 years, retiring January 28, 2016. While at the airport I moved through the ranks all the way up to Lieutenant where I spent the last twelve years of my career. I have been a Motor Officer, Bike Officer, SWAT Team member and Police Sniper. As a Sergeant I served as a Tactical Team Leader and Sniper Commander. As a Lieutenant I served as the Tactical Commander for eight years.
I am a graduate of the FBI National Academy class 257. I am a Southlake resident and have a wife of two years, Monique. We have four children all of which graduated from or are attending Carroll schools. In my spare time I like to play golf, ride my motorcycle, watch football, and cruising at least twice a year with my lovely wife.
