Welcome! My name is Marie Denson and I am excited to be the Assistant Principal at Holland Elementary School after serving as Assistant Principal at Holland Middle School for the past 3 school years!
I attended Salado schools for K-12 and graduated from UMHB in 2001 with a BBA in Marketing. I received my Masters Degree in Educational Technology Leadership with Principal Certification from Lamar University in 2008. I was on the women's basketball team at both schools (LU 1996-1998 and UMHB 1998-2000). Sports are a passion of mine.
I spent 15 years Jarrell High School before coming to Holland ISD for the 2022-2023 school year. I was a teacher/coach for the first 13 years of my career and I have been an Assistant Principal for the past 9 years. This is my 23rd overall year in education and my 4th year in Holland. My husband, Brandon, is also an educator. He is a teacher/coach (Football/Baseball) at Shoemaker HS in Killeen. My bonus daughter, Ali, is 17 and is a senior at Magnolia West HS. I'm looking forward to a great school year! Go Hornets!
