“I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to work for the Holmes Grenada Campus and serve this town and give back!” Herrington said. “Holmes has a great family environment and excellent educational platform for students to excel in life as well as in their next chapter in education. The Holmes community cares about every student and I am blessed to be a part of and serve along with the Holmes Grenada family.”
