School Board Spotlight

Mia Hall , Vice President
Place 3 Trustee Mia Hall , a central office administrator in Fort Worth ISD , former public school principal and National Blue Ribbon Award recipient , wanted to bring her professional experience and personal passion to the Crowley ISD Board of Trustees when she ran for office in 2015 .
“ I believe strongly in servant leadership and am excited for the opportunity to impact the education system and the community in which I live ,” Hall said .
Hall was attending law school at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth , now Texas A & M University School of Law , when she discovered her passion for education while substitute teaching . She decided to leave law school to become a teacher and now has more than 17 years of experience in public education .
“ Education is critical and can level the playing field among students ,” Hall said . “ Education is the key that unlocks every opportunity . It ’ s the single most important thing that will provide women and men alike with every tool they will need to be successful . Public education comes under fire from critics at every turn , and I think it ’ s important that the community supports the public education system . It ’ s where the majority of our students sit , and it ’ s the most impactful factor for all of our futures : the future of our community , the future of our world .”
Hall obtained her bachelor ’ s degree in Government from the University of Texas at Austin and her master ’ s degree in Educational Administration and Policy Studies from the University of Texas at Arlington .
She currently serves on the Girls Inc . of Tarrant County Board of Directors and is an active member of the Junior League of Fort Worth .
Hall and her husband of 16 years , Ibo , have a 14-year-old son , Xavier . They also own Innovative Air LLC , a residential and commercial HVAC company in Fort Worth and Mia Hall Real Estate .
Hall ’ s hope for Crowley ISD is for it to be “ ranked among the best public schools in not only our state , but our nation , and that we provide a superlative quality education for all students .”
“ I will strive to support an innovative and inspiring educational experience for our students , one that prepares them for success in the 21st century ,” she said .
