Mrs. Holden was born and raised in Fairview, UT.  She later moved to Nephi and has lived there until recently moving to St. George.  She graduated from Utah State University with her Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Southern Utah University with her Master's in Education.  She has taught Elementary School (2nd, 3rd, & 6th grades) and mathematics at the Junior High (7th and 8th grade).  She believes every student can learn mathematics with the right support, encouragement, and opportunities to think deeply. She strives to create a classroom where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and build confidence as problem solvers.

Outside the classroom, Mrs. Holden has a passion for lifelong learning.  She also loves to golf, spend time on the water or a beach, spend time with her husband and their 4 children and is very much looking forward to becoming a grandmother this fall.  

Mrs. Holden is really excited to join the Dixie Intermediate Team.  Go Flyers!
