Rod Stanton, Principal
Rod Stanton grew up in a small town south of Buffalo, New York where he earned a degree in business management before getting his bachelor's degree in elementary education at a State University of New York. After beginning his educational career in western New York, he decided to move away from the snow and chose Raleigh where he had several friends and relatives. Mr. Stanton earned his master's degree in school administration at UNC, Chapel Hill. After teaching 3rd grade for several years at Davis Drive Elementary, Mr. Stanton made his first stop at Cary Elementary as an administrative intern. After serving as the assistant principal at Lincoln Heights Elementary in Fuquay-Varina, he returned to Cary Elementary as the principal in January of 2004.
Mr. Stanton enjoys participating in sports including his current involvement in triathlons. You may even pass him out on the roads cycling or early in the mornings running near his home in Holly Springs, where he lives with his wife and two daughters.
When not exercising, Mr. Stanton enjoys wake boarding, working in the yard, and spending time with his family. He is also involved at his church, and thinks Cary Elementary is a very special place.
