Jacqueline Hall: Dragon Event Founder, Emerald Belle Social Officer
A member of student council, Green Jackets, Belles, Mu Alpha Theta and National Honor Society, Jacqueline Hall has a diverse group of friends and recognizes how challenging it is to get high school students all involved in the same thing. Out of a desire to unify both Carroll and Carroll Senior High School and serve the community, she decided to start The Dragon Event. Inspired by Texas A&M University's The Big Event, Jacqueline formed a student-led service day that was held on April 7.
“I really wanted to form an event that everyone could be included in,” she says. “To see something that we had been planning for months carried out in one day and affect so many lives was the most humbling and honoring experience.”
The event was a success as 300 students spent the day serving organizations like Run4Elise, Miracle League, GRACE Donation Station, Metroport Meals on Wheels and many more.
Jacqueline says she plans to make it an annual event and train underclassmen on how to host the event so that it can continue after she graduates.
