A Beckley native, Hall served as principal of Woodrow Wilson High School and later held different administrative positions in the Raleigh County Central Office.
Hall said in a statement that the board will “focus our efforts on getting our students back on track while continuing to address the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis, and we will remain diligent in addressing the needs of our most vulnerable students.”
The board also voted Tom Campbell as vice president.
