Dear Holliman Families and Community,
I am so excited to welcome you back to our newly renovated school! The large, crystal-clear windows now fill our classrooms with natural light, and our new heating and cooling systems will keep us cool in the warmer months and comfortably warm in the winter. Each classroom is equipped with new counters, cabinets, sinks, closet space, cubbies, and more. Even the floors are shiny and new!
With this fresh, educationally sound learning environment, I am confident that our vision for Holliman will continue to come to life.
Our Vision for the 2025-2026 School Year (from our 25-26 School Improvement Plan)
To foster every students’ academic success and social
emotional well being through a culturally relevant
educational experience that challenges students’ thinking
in innovative and engaging ways. At Holliman, all
stakeholders are committed to being forever focused on
our vision of a graduate.
Holliman is committed to developing deep and flexible thinkers who can engage in
collaborative explorations to make meaning of our world from multiple perspectives.
This school year, the Holliman school community will hone in on the following values;
Equity:
All students can learn and deserve equitable access to high quality teaching
materials and highly skilled teachers who provide all students rigorous learning
opportunities, lessons and assessments.
Equity ensures that each child receives what they need to develop their full academic
and social potential.
Cultural Awareness and Responsiveness:
All teachers will develop an awareness of
cultural competencies and begin to develop teacher strategies that are responsive to
students’ cultural characteristics.
Being culturally responsive requires having the ability to understand cultural differences,
recognize potential biases, and look beyond differences to work productively with
children, families, and communities whose cultural contexts are different from one's
own.
Social Emotional Learning:
Teachers will continue to address the social and emotional needs of each student. Responsive Classroom with a continued focus on teacher language will be used as a resource.
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process of developing the self-awareness,
self-control, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success.
Our Holliman teachers and staff are eager to meet their new students and to begin their educational journey with relevant grade level standards aligned rigorous and engaging lessons, activities, and assessments.
To keep everyone informed, our school events, news, and updates will now be shared on our Holliman website. All of this information can be found on the home page! Our Holliman Hornets Family Newsletter may be sent out less frequently and you will receive notifications when there is an important update made to the website. It is my goal to keep you as informed and up to date with the awesome things happening at Holliman. You will also find the school supply lists, arrival/dismissal procedures, and Aspen information on our website.
