| Welcome! |
| My name is Angela Carson. I've been teaching third grade for 10 years, 6 of those years have been here at W.T. Cooke. I graduated from Radford University with a degree in Early Education. Although RU will always have a place in my heart, I am a true Hokie by marriage. I am married to my high school sweetheart, have a beautiful 2 year old daughter, and a dog named... Hokie. We travel to all home games in full VT car and clothing gear. Along with enjoying game days, I also love photography, scrapbooking, and traveling with my family. GO HOKIES! |
