LEV F. HOLLY SR.

Touching and embracing the lives of America’s youth is a blessing that requires faith, humbleness, and accountability. This obligation also requires me to be a role model and mentor; but moreso, an individual that is team oriented in all aspects of life. I accept and value the commitment of these roles. I am committed and loyal to the individuals I am responsible for. I embrace the opportunity to help individuals prosper by providing an environment in which they feel safe and comfortable; but also, furnish them with the ingredients and intangibles they need to be successful in life. I will work continuously to help the individuals I’m responsible for to build and max out their potential and performance in and out of the work environment, where I will aim to make my colleagues successful in every field of human endeavor.
