Mr. Holzshu

My name is Kurtis Holzshu, and I look forward to my 21st year in education!  This will be my 18th year at Midway and my 5th working with Gifted and Talented students.  I currently serve students at both Calhoun Academy of the Arts and Midway each day.  Before moving to Anderson, my wife, Lauren, and I taught in Kissimmee, Florida for three years.  I am originally from Greenville, Pennsylvania where I was born and raised.  Greenville is a small town north of Pittsburgh.   

I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.  I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Thiel College, a Master of Education in Mathematics from Walden University, and my Gifted and Talented Endorsement from Converse College.  

My wife, Lauren, is a first grade teacher at North Pointe Elementary.  We have two boys, Drew (14) and Will (9).  We enjoy spending our time with our boys before they become to cool for us.
