Superintendent Bill Husfelt has recommended Teresa Holzman to serve as the new principal of Oakland Terrace School for the Visual and Performing Arts. She is currently the assistant principal at Parker Elementary School. Pending School Board approval, her new assignment will begin July 1, 2010.

She accepted her first administrative position in 2005 at Oakland Terrace, moving to Parker Elementary School as assistant principal in 2008.

“I feel very humbled and blessed for the opportunity to return to Oakland Terrace School for the Visual and Performing Arts!  I am excited to begin working with the students, parents and staff at such a great school.  Becoming Principal at Oakland Terrace is a dream come true.  At Oakland Terrace, I served as a classroom teacher, reading coach and Administrative Assistant.  I have watched Oakland Terrace grow and become recognized in the county as the leader of integrating the Arts and curriculum to inspire and motivate students.  My heart is at Oakland Terrace!,” Holzman said.

A product of Bay District Schools, Holzman attended Southport Elementary School, Mowat Junior High School and graduated from A. Crawford Mosley High School .
