Meet the Specialists

Mrs. O'Brien

My name is Lindsey O'Brien. I am the art teacher at Hollis Primary School. I have my bachelor's degree in Fine Arts and a master's degree in Elementary Education. 

When I am not in the art room I like to spend time with my family and my dog Clark.  I enjoy creating art, reading, camping near the ocean and watching my children play sports.

Mr. Precourt

My name is Kyle Precourt, and I am the Physical Education Teacher at Hollis Primary School. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and Health Education, as well as a master’s degree in Sports Management. 

I love teaching at HPS because it allows me to introduce students to exercise, movement, and sports in a fun and engaging way. When children learn to enjoy physical activity at a young age, they are more likely to stay active and healthy throughout their lives.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and being outdoors.

Carrie Cormier is the music teacher here at HPS. She is certified in K-12 Music Education and K-6 Elementary Education.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, reading, and exploring the outdoors.
