Glenda Holder is a transformational, visionary servant who guides, inspires and develops the skills and talents of the teachers, students and parents she serves. Struggling with learning math in elementary school, it was her fourth grade teacher who helped her overcome her struggles in Math and inspired her to become an educator. She pushes herself to be the one person that can change the course of a child’s life each and every day.
