Congratulations to Our Teacher of the Year: Mrs. Underwood

We are thrilled to announce Mrs. Underwood as New Holland Leadership Academy’s 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year. It is an honor to celebrate someone who exemplifies what it means to be an educator, mentor, and leader.

Mrs. Underwood’s dedication to our school community shines through in everything she does. From the moment she joined New Holland, she has worked tirelessly to support our students, staff, and families. She arrives early, stays late, and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure every child feels supported.

Mrs. Underwood has taken on many leadership roles; from serving as a team leader to mentoring new teachers, hosting Student Council, and organizing our incredible Milestones Pep Rally. She finds ways to uplift and inspire those around her. Whether she’s planning schoolwide events, modeling best practices in the classroom, or helping students build leadership skills, Mrs. Underwood approaches every opportunity with heart and a commitment to excellence.

She is a teacher who not only focuses on academic growth, but also on nurturing the whole child. Her ability to build strong relationships with students and staff creates a supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to succeed. Mrs. Underwood, thank you for choosing New Holland to share your talents and passion for education. Your commitment to our mission and your love for our students make New Holland a better place. We are so proud to have you as part of our family and to celebrate you as our Teacher of the Year.
