Welcome to the home page of Edward Carson. This site is designed to assist fellow teachers,members of the Houston Christian High School community, students in my courses, as well as the greater academic community.

"O Captain, my Captain. Who knows where that comes from? Anybody? Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now in this class you can either call me 'Mr. Carson', or if you're slightly more daring, O Captain my Captain." ~ John Keating, Dead Poets Society

"I am an invisible man. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me." ~ Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man
