Meet Executive Board Member Holly Lee

"I have been a teacher for 14 years. I am a product of Davis School District schools. I attended Weber State University where I received a degree in science and in elementary education. I taught at Clinton Elementary for 10 years and am currently serving at Lakeside Elementary in West Point. I teach 6th grade but have experience in 4th through 6th. I completed my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 2005. I also work for the State Office of Education on their Language Arts Textbook Adoption Committee and as a writer revising the Core Curriculum as well as writing end of level tests. Outside of work, I am a mom of five kids who are very busy. I watch sporting events frequently. I also enjoy reading, sewing, cooking, gardening, and hiking.

I have been a member of the DEA, UEA, and NEA since I started teaching. While I was student teaching, my cooperating teacher told me to join, and I did. I became the AR at my school during my second year of teaching. I have been either an AR or on the Executive Board since then. I think that as teachers we need to be unified and proactive in our association. I have worked on many committees with the DEA and the school district. We are very lucky to have such a great working relationship with our leaders in the District. I feel that when teachers are part of the same organization, our united voice becomes stronger. I enjoy working with teachers as part of my role on the Executive Board and look forward to doing it in the future."
