Jeff and Paula Cool joined the Brook Hill family in 2008 when their oldest son, Zachary (Class of ’10), entered the school as a junior. Their second-born son entered Brook Hill as a freshman in 2009 at which time Paula began teaching piano lessons at the lower school as a private instructor. Jeff and Paula have served the church for several years holding various positions. Jeff has served as deacon, children’s church teacher, RA director, middle school boys’ teacher/youth volunteer, and visual presentation operator. Likewise, Paula has been the nursery coordinator, mission friends’ teacher, VBS leader and worker, middle school girls’ teacher, high school girls’ small group leader, and ladies’ Bible study leader. Paula also enjoys singing, playing flute and serving as a member of the praise team. Holding these various church ministry positions, along with having been involved with Cross Vision Ministries in some mission work in Mexico, Jeff and Paula started praying about where God would lead their family next. When the position of boarding parents to the girls at Brook Hill opened up in the spring of 2011, they knew that was what God wanted them to do and jumped at the opportunity.

Paula graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler in 1991 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Psychology. After working in her field for three years, she decided to stay home with her children and began teaching private flute and piano lessons.
Jeff holds an Associates of Applied Science degree in drafting. He worked as a senior designer for the Trane Co. for twenty one years before joining the engineering team at Door Control Services in the summer of 2011.
