💜 **Alumni Spotlight: Kyla Grose ’08**
For Kyla Grose ’08, Carroll is a family tradition. Both of her parents are Carroll graduates, and Kyla continued that connection when she earned her degree in Elementary Education in 2008.
Today, Kyla teaches kindergarten in Troy, Montana, where what she thought would be a short stop to gain experience has turned into more than 16 years of building a career, a home and a lasting connection to her community.
Her passion for literacy eventually led her back to school, and in 2025, she earned her M.Ed. in Elementary Reading with an emphasis in Literacy—graduating with a 4.0!
From Saints football and Firetower study sessions to St. Nicholas Day and the mentors who helped shape her, Kyla says her Carroll experience continues to influence the teacher she is today.
“Carroll gave me the foundation to become an educator, but it also helped me become the kind of person and teacher I want to be.”
