Meet the Watch D.O.G.S. Chair
My name is Eric Hall and I am the Carroll PTA Watch DOGS chair for the next two school years! My oldest daughter is now in 7th at Cobb, but she started kinder at Carroll back in 2017. I have a 4th grader with two years left, so our family will have been part of the Carroll Family for almost a decade. My family and I love Carroll and appreciate all of the teachers and staff that have made our kiddos elementary school experience so special. My better half, Jessica, serves as the PTA Secretary, but is mainly known for her book fair skills.
