Dr. Tonia howard-hall

Chatham County School Board Rep.

Look in the dictionary under Public Servant, and if you don’t find this passionate leader’s photo there, then you should call the publisher and complain, or check the encyclopedia for further reference. Dr. Howard-Hall is always anywhere there is a need to advocate for the students of the Chatham County Public School System. She is the epitome of what great elected representation is suppose to be. After serving 32 years in various roles within the system, starting out teaching to ending up as a program manager for Title 1 Schools, Dr. Howard-Hall felt a calling to continue to serve. She threw her hat in the ring for election to the school board and won by a landslide.

She is noted for being the most unselfish elected official in the state of Georgia.

Going through the public school system and graduating from Tompkins High School in 1979, then on to Florida A&M until 1983, her passion was to touch the lives of our children. She started teaching, all while working on her Masters and Doctor’s degrees and raising two kids. During a time of the unknown, concerning the Covid 19 Epidemic, she was the only board member to vote no, on sending our school children back to class with uncertain data pertaining to their overall safety. After over 40 years of service, she’s still pouring into the lives of our young people. Great things are expected from Great People, and this leader is showing the world why, “Black Girls Rock”.
