Hi Tigers! I'm Mrs. Holley, and I'm delighted to join you next year as your new counselor.
A little bit about me...
My husband, Hayden, and I have three sweet kiddos: Pierson (Pre-K at OCT), Grayson (3), and Payton (4 months). They bring us so much joy and keep us VERY busy! As parents we have been highly impressed with the experience that OCT has provided for our family. I hope to be able to continue to grow the culture of family and community that has already been established.
Most of my background prior to stepping into the counselor role was spent in special education in Carroll ISD. I have been blessed to spend the last two years as the counselor at Glenhope. While this will be a bittersweet goodbye, I am excited to partner with the staff, parents, and community at OCT to ensure that your kiddos have the best possible experience. I am passionate about helping littles navigate and learn about their feelings and emotions.
When I'm not working I enjoy traveling, baking, and trying new restaurants and coffee shops.
I can't wait to meet each and every one of you very soon!
Order your school supplies now for the 24-25 School Year. Main order deadline is May 21st.
Happy Nurses Day to the sweetest, kindest, toughest, and the most amazing nurse that we know!
