Ms. Karyn Anton is honored to serve as the principal of Whitmore Elementary. With over 26 years of experience in education as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, MTSS facilitator, and assistant principal, she is dedicated to fostering an inclusive school environment where curiosity leads the way and every student can find success.

Ms. Anton comes to Tucson from the Midwest, and earned her degree at the University of Illinois. Throughout her career, she has remained passionate about student-led learning, competency-based education, and inquiry-based instruction. She is excited to foster a student-centered learning environment at Whitmore where our Wildcats are actively thinking, asking big questions, and guiding their own path with the guidance of our teachers who support and inspire them at every step.

Outside of school, Ms. Anton enjoys time with her family, her teenage daughter, and her black lab, Opal. She loves relaxing outside with a good book and a great cup of coffee.
