A Lasting Legacy

Today, we proudly dedicated Room 302 in honor of Martha C. Holladay, celebrating her 50 years of service to Padua Academy. After a heartfelt breakfast with family and friends, Mrs. Holladay unveiled a plaque that will forever mark her impact on generations of students.

For five decades, she has shaped Padua’s young women with her high standards, passion for English, and unwavering dedication. From crafting strong thesis statements to interpreting The Great Gatsby, her influence extends far beyond the classroom—she is a role model, mentor, and inspiration.

With deep gratitude, we recognize her extraordinary commitment and the indelible mark she has left on our school. Thank you, Mrs. Holladay!
