SCHOOLSPOTLIGHT: NEWHOLLANDLEADERSHIPACADEMY

New Holland Leadership Academy is led by Mrs. Andreka Pierce Blackwell. Mrs. Blackwell just completed her first full academic year as principal after serving as the school's assistant principal from 2018 to 2022. Making the transition from New Holland "Knowledge Academy" to "Leadership Academy" was an easy one "We want our students to be leaders in all that they do Right now that means in the classroom and at home with their families, but soon it will be in our community," said Mrs. Blackwell.

New Holland's core values of "Ready, Respectful, Responsible, Role Models, Leadership, Good Communicators and Teamwork," drive the school's activities each day. This year students celebrated Gratituesday the week before the Thanksgiving break and packed meals for families in need They also enjoyed a fun-filled fall festival with community partners joining in to serve and educate students and their families One of the favorite days of the year is Ag Day where students learn about the many opportunities to lead in the agriculture business, and how farms impact everyday life. You will often find guest speakers visiting the school to help demonstrate leadership qualities that students are studying every day.
