Hollis brings nearly a decade of experience as a middle school educator to her role as Upper Elementary Guide at Bastrop Montessori. With a strong background in teaching and a passion for child-centered learning, she is dedicated to creating a classroom environment that fosters independence, curiosity, and a love of discovery. She is currently completing her NAMC Montessori certification for ages 9–12, and is excited to integrate Montessori philosophy with her classroom experience. Hollis believes in guiding students not only academically but also in developing the confidence and responsibility that will serve them throughout life. When she isn’t in the classroom, Hollis enjoys spending time with her husband, their two young children, and their animals, as well as reading and exploring creative projects.
