"My TSH experience is wonderful and has been a tremendous help. The program is exciting and my child loves it here. The environment here is so family oriented, everyone is great and understanding of her needs. The activities The Study Hall offers have helped my child to develop and blossom." ~ Ms. B. Allen, TSH Parent Since 2007

Elizabeth Finn Johnson

Elizabeth Finn Johnson

Elizabeth Finn Johnson, Senior Litigation & Employment Counsel for The Coca-Cola Company, joined The Study Hall Board of Directors in 2005 and became Chair of the Board on January 1, 2009. She joined The Study Hall's Board because she strongly believes in TSH's mission to help its students succeed in school and use education to enable them to become productive, well-rounded citizens who can give back to their communities, stopping the cycle of poverty.

"I am on the Board of Directors because I firmly believe The Study Hall is a place where I can make a difference. We have approximately 90 children in our program with bright futures ahead of them. The Study Hall helps to expose the children to opportunities and people they may not otherwise meet that will have a very positive influence on their lives. All you have to do is tour our facility to feel the positive energy and excitement of these children! The Study Hall is big enough to make a difference and small enough so I can see the results of our efforts!"

Ed Fisher

Ed Fisher

Since 2003, Ed has been managing partner of SouthPointe Ventures, LLC, a small-cap private equity buy-out fund headquartered in Atlanta. Prior to SouthPointe, Ed was a partner at merchant banking firm EGL Holdings, Inc., as well as a portfolio partner for Prometheus Partners, an Atlanta-based leveraged buyout firm. Ed serves as a director of The Study Hall because of a core belief that we all have an obligation to contribute to our society via good works - "to whom much is given much is expected." TSH embodies this effort by providing a safe environment where children can learn and have meaningful experiences that would otherwise be unavailable to them, and as a result improve their lives and allow them to fulfill their potential and become better citizens of the world as a result of their time at TSH.
