The late Mrs. Tonya Carroll and Dr. Curtis Carroll were both first generation college graduates and leaders within their community. Mrs. Carroll and Dr. Carroll moved to Charlotte, North Carolina from Flint, Michigan in 1993. Mrs. Carroll worked as a pharmacist for several pharmacies throughout North Carolina and owned The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy for 5 years where she provided care for medically underserved patients. Dr. Carroll worked for 27 years as a principal and superintendent for the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System where he helped thousands of minority students. Dr. Carroll held several of the district’s highest-profile jobs while servicing populations impacted by high poverty and low test scores. The Carroll’s instilled the values of hard work and service into their two children Dr. Brittany Carroll and Brent Carroll. The Carroll's children are continuing the Carroll legacy in many ways, including supporting students with similar values. The Tonya and Curtis Carroll Service Scholarship will provide support to students seeking to cultivate sustainable change.
