HOLLY STILES JOHNSON
HOLLY is a veteran high school teacher with seventeen years experience working with teenage girls. She has taught English, ELD, and At-Risk Reading, but it is through her experiences running the Drama Department at Santiago High School in Garden Grove, California that she has worked with both young men and women on building self-esteem, owning their own baggage, and setting personal boundaries. Through conversations with students, colleagues, and parents, Holly has created a program that attempts to combat many of the unhealthy and demeaning messages that young women are given today about body-image and self-worth. Holly was selected as
"Woman of the Week" by CBS News.
