May Spotlight: Mrs. Katie Hall
We are proud to recognize Mrs. Katie Hall, our incredible District Librarian, as this month’s Staff Member of the Month!
On a personal note, I don’t know what I would do without Katie. She does a ton for me here at the high school—from taking notes at meetings, to helping with planning, to being my go-to person for anything technology or State Testing-related. No matter what I throw her way, she is always willing to jump in and help, and she does it all with a positive attitude and a genuine desire to make things better for everyone around her.
Katie brings an exceptional level of expertise, organization, and commitment to her role, making a lasting impact on both students and staff across Carrabec High School and throughout the district. Her deep understanding of teacher needs is evident in the way she consistently collaborates with content-area teachers—especially in ELA—to ensure classrooms have the resources they need to thrive. Whether it’s securing multiple copies of novels for engaging book studies or co-teaching lessons that strengthen student writing, Katie is always thinking about how to support instruction in meaningful ways.
Behind the scenes, Katie’s organizational skills are second to none. From maintaining and curating the library collection to thoughtfully researching and selecting appropriate materials, she ensures our library remains a welcoming, relevant, and well-run space for our school community. Her attention to detail also shines through in her work as the Class of 2025 advisor, where she has played a major role in planning events like Homecoming, Prom, class trips, and graduation activities.
Katie is also a true leader when it comes to technology. She continually researches and introduces user-friendly tools that benefit both students and staff, and she is always willing to support others in building their confidence with technology. She has even developed a technology-based library class at the middle school, giving students the tools and skills they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.
Beyond her professional contributions, Katie is a valued member of our school community. She is married to our very own Scott Hall and is the proud mother of Wyatt, a junior at Mt. Blue High School. At home, she’s also a proud chicken and cat mom, and a true Disney enthusiast—so much so that she has made the trip all the way to Disneyland in California!
Above all, Katie has a huge heart. She is someone who is always willing to go above and beyond to make sure that students and staff have a positive experience here at Carrabec.
Katie was also selected as Staff Member of the Year by the Class of 2025—an honor that speaks volumes about the respect and appreciation students have for her.
Congratulations, Katie, and thank you for everything you do for our school and for me personally. We are lucky to have you at Carrabec!
