A Hello from Principal Holding

​Dear Parents and Community Members, 

I am honored to be principal of Theodore Judah Elementary School. I feel truly blessed to be the instructional leader of such an awesome school community.

​I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.

Theodore Judah Elementary School Principal Troy Holding

,​Originally from Boston, I received a bachelor’s degree in both Biology and Math from Boston College. ​After college, I attended dental school in Pennsylvania for almost three years. After much deliberation and realizing dentistry was not the right path for me, I went back to school and for a master’s degree in education.

Growing up with a single parent, the education system served me well and I felt compelled to give back to the profession that was so great to me.

I have been dedicated to the field of education for more than 19 years. During this time, my experiences include teaching elementary school for nine years, being an elementary school assistant principal for four years, and I am currently serving my sixth year as a principal. Most recently, I worked as a principal in Twin Rivers Unified School District.

I am the proud uncle of two beautiful nieces, one of whom just started her first year at Tufts University and would like to have a career in education as well. I love to hike, read, travel, cook, and back to school and football season if my favorite time of year.

All of us at Theodore Judah Elementary are eager and excited for the year ahead. This year is going to be great as we continue to provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant and relationship-building.

As your principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors, staff, students and parents, are excited to be here! This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun and nurturing environment.

In closing, when we ALL work together as a learning community and do things with our students' best interests in mind, we will be a GREAT school! If I can ever be of assistance, please call or email me.

It is through being a collaborative learning community with consistent, honest, and open communication that I can best serve our students. Thanks for the opportunity to serve our GREAT community as we welcome each of you back to school.
​
Warmest Regards,
​
Principal Troy Holding
