Hi! My name is Hollie Halloran and this will be my first year teaching at St. Clair. I am so excited to be here! I graduated in 2016 from the University of Minnesota Morris with my BA degree in Elementary Education. I spent the first 4 years of my teaching career at Milroy Public Schools. I taught 2nd grade my first year, 2nd grade, kindergarten reading, and interventions my second year, 2nd grade my third year, and 4th grade and Title my fourth year! In 2020 I got married to my husband, Chris. We moved to North Mankato, and I taught 5th grade for one year at TEAM Academy in Waseca. For my sixth year of teaching, I taught at Lafayette Public Charter School as their 2nd/3rd grade teacher and art teacher! I've gotten pretty good at wearing many hats :) In 2022 we found out we were expecting our first child, so that summer I decided to start working at a daycare center, Creative Minds, as an infant teacher. I ended up staying there for 3 years! Our first daughter Sophia was born October 21st, 2022, and our second daughter Adelynn was born May 13th, 2024. Now that Adelynn is moving to the toddler room and Sophia is in preschool, I knew I was ready to jump back into the classroom. I am beyond excited to start my 7th year of teaching here at St. Clair!
I love puzzles, reading, writing, and spending time with my family.
I am the oldest of 3. My sister Erika is 27 and is a preschool teacher, and my sister Hannah is 21 and is a LPN!
I love traveling. Some of my favorite places I've visited are The Black Hills, Yellowstone, and Costa Rica!
While in Costa Rica, I was able to go ziplining through the rainforest, white water rafting, and we hiked a volcano!
I'm OBSESSED with coffee, especially Scooters! I also love Vanilla Coke and Cherry Pepsi.
