Savannah Standard

Mr. Mike Carbo, Benedictine Military School Class of 1976, comes to Benedictine after a 30-plus-year career as the co-owner/founder of Electrical Equipment Upgrading (EEU), an electrical engineering firm. As a business owner, Mr. Carbo oversaw all aspects of business operations as he led a team of 24 people and managed a 25,000-square-foot facility. Prior to his retirement in October 2022, Mr. Carbo was involved in every facet of EEU’s business operations. He served 34 years in the Georgia Air National Guard until retiring in 2014. Mr Carbo is a communicant at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church and in his fourth year in the diaconate program. He and his wife, Nancy Owens Carbo, have five children: Brooks ’99, Bryan ’01, Nicholas ’13, Natalie, and Michael O’Neil ’19. Mr. Carbo is active in the community and volunteers as a member of the finance committee at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. He volunteered as Blessed Sacrament Catholic School’s Athletic Director from 2005-14, and serves on the building and planning committee for the Knights of Columbus Council 631.

At Benedictine, Mr. Carbo will work to build rapport with businesses in Savannah and surrounding areas that offer internship, co-op, or other work pathways so as to create opportunities for Cadets to explore and experience various potential jobs/careers. He will talk with Cadets about their career interests and connect them with opportunities that will explore those interests and college career pathways. Mr. Carbo will bring guest speakers to BC to talk with Cadets about career opportunities in various trades, both professional and vocational. He also will work closely with BC’s Guidance and College Counseling Office to ensure opportunities are available for all Cadets who want them, and to identify Cadets who would benefit from alternate plans of higher education (technical schools/trade schools). Mr. Carbo will create a plan for basic summer internships for Cadets planning to attend college or wanting to learn a trade. #thebc400
