I am a single mom of 3- Theresa (22), Grace (15), and Jacob (13). Spending time with my kids and my family is what I enjoy most. I also enjoy working out, hiking, reading, and playing  games. I am a huge animal lover and have quite a few pets which include 2 dogs, 3 cats, a guinea pig,and a fish. I am looking forward to a great year! 

This will be my third year here at Parkland and I am loving every minute of it so far! I got married in 2020, right before the pandemic to my wife Sam. We have two daughters, Kaydin who is almost 3, Addisyn who turns 1 in August. We also have a dog named Wrigley. Outside of school I love to be outside, golfing, running/working out, bowling, and hanging out with my family and friends. I am looking forward to this year and helping your children grow both in and out of the classroom!

Hi Vikings! My name is Mrs. Holiday. This is my 12th year teaching at Parkland and I absolutely love it! This year I will be teaching Math and Language Arts, along with co-teaching Math with Mr. Quick and Social Studies with Ms. Dougherty. Outside of school, I have three children of my own, Cole (6), Celine (3) and Chandler (shy of 1 year). They keep me busy and laughing! In my free time I like to spend time with my family. We spend lots of time at the park and out on the lake. Looking forward to a wonderful year!

I have been at Parkland for 22 years on the 7 Blue Team.  I work with the entire team and directly with Christina Holiday.  I have 3 children who are all married and all but one have children. Needless to say I am a very happy grandmother of 6.  I am looking forward to this year and the new batch of seventh grade students.

This is my 15th year of teaching here at Parkland!  I love teaching language arts, and I really enjoy working with you 7th graders! 

In addition to teaching, I coach Cross Country at McHenry High School, the McHenry Youth Running Club in the summer, and the Parkland Winter Running Club during the winter! I'm a dog mom to my adorable and sweet pitty puppy, Buddha. In my free time I like to run, hike, workout, garden, read, and travel. 

I'm looking forward to our year together!
