CARRIE ROCHON MCAFEE, noted Houston educator, succumbed September 22, 2006 following a brief illness. Pursuing a busy career as teacher, counselor, and assistant principal at Houston's historic Jack Yates High School, she came to prominence in 1974 at James Madison High School when she was named first female principal of a comprehensive senior high school in Texas.
Ms. McAfee's participation in professional activities, community affairs, and charitable endeavors won her numerous awards and wide recognition. For 15 years the Madison "Marlin Mama," as she was lovingly proclaimed, provided a level of leadership that propelled a little-known suburban school to local and state heights in academics, fine arts, and athletics.
In her honor, the Madison school library was named for her. In 1989 she left the campus environment and provided leadership to HISD administrative district IX until 1992. Mrs. McAfee touched many students' lives at Madison High School
From 1974 to 1989 Mrs. McAfee was a role model to many students at Madison High school.
Known as Marlin Mama, it is time to return the favor.
Let your voice be heard and help honor our principal by naming the new education center on Andersen Road the Carrie McAfee Education Center.
