Great Seneca Creek Elementary School

Ms. Kristi Carranza

Hi! I’m Mrs. Carranza, and I am so happy to be a part of the Great Seneca Creek family! I have been teaching for 22 years. I grew up in Pennsylvania, and moved to Maryland after graduating with a degree in Elementary Education and Spanish. I enjoy traveling, watching baseball/football, and going to the beach. I live in Clarksburg with my husband, 13 year old son Alex, and 10 year old son Leo. I love teaching reading because it was my 5th grade reading teacher who cared and challenged me to be the best student I could be, and she inspired me to become a teacher.

Mrs. Germaine Cooley

I am entering my 21st year of teaching and have been lucky to be at Great Seneca Creek since it opened. In the past I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade. When I am not at school I am spending time with my husband Ryan, my son Padraig, my daughter Brighid, and of course our dog Astro. As a family we can be found on the baseball field cheering on my Padraig and his teammates, on the football field watching my daughter cheer, or camping and hiking at different parks in Frederick County. I am so excited for this school year to begin!!!!

Ms. Taylor Simpson

Hello! I'm Miss Simpson, and I am so excited to be joining the 4th grade team at The Creek this year! For the last seven years I taught 4th grade at Twinbrook Elementary and am very excited to be back in the neighborhood I grew up in! When I am not at school I like to play softball, hang with my nieces and nephews, and spend time with my fiance and two dogs! I am looking forward to such an amazing school year!
