Rod Hall - Utah State Board of Education Member
Rod's Purpose
Rod Hall is invested in the lives of people. He knows how important
education is and wants to make a difference in the lives of our students in Davis and Weber County.
His heart is for our youth, and he strives to educate them of their value and self-worth, to inspire them to believe they can be who they were designed to be, and that they can succeed in any environment life has to offer.
Rod believes what goes into the mind goes into the heart, and what goes into the heart affects a person’s life. Those who would seek to rob our children of their innocence and break down their moral fabric know this as well. We need to courageously protect the minds and hearts of young people from ideologies designed to tear them down and not build them up.
It is important to provide them with strong teaching that helps build resilience
and moral character.

Rod is a husband of almost 26 years, a proud father of five beautiful children, and a new grandfather of two amazing little girls.
