Kindergarten Mrs. Carol Morgan was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. After graduating from Xavier University in 1987 with a B.S. in Elementary Education and Special Education, she began teaching in a Christian school in Harrison, Ohio. Carol came to MVCA in 1999. In directing her path here to MVCA, God has led her through a variety of teaching experiences. All of these experiences have equipped her to serve Him here at MVCA as the kindergarten teacher and the learning resource coordinator. She and her husband Roger are the parents of two sons, Dale and Joshua, both of whom are MVCA graduates. Carol enjoys teaching at MVCA because she has the freedom to teach the whole truth about Creation and the value of the individual.
