The Theodore Judah PTA Welcomes You!
The Theodore Judah Elementary School PTA funds 100% of your child's Art, Music, Garden & Science Alive! instruction.
Our paid Alive! program coordinators facilitate in-class instruction (led by volunteer parent docents), curriculum development, art and science supplies, and hands-on garden lessons - that build upon our school's core instructional programs.
We welcome any donations, big or small, donations of time and financial support. We also welcome fresh ideas! Do you have an idea for a new after-school club? Do you own a company that can help us improve our school or offerings?

Our School
Theodore Judah Elementary School is a public school located in Sacramento's East Sac neighborhood, serving East Sacramento and Midtown families. Opened in a one-room wooden bungalow in 1927, our school is the oldest continually-operating school in Sacramento. Our school is listed on the the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It was named after Theodore Judah, who helped design the first transcontinental railroad.
A Hello from Principal Holding

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
