Reading Coach - Holly Bearden

Hello! I am Holly Bearden, and I am proud to serve as the Reading Coach at Centerville Elementary School. Before joining the team at Centerville, I taught kindergarten, first, and second grades at Homeland Park Primary, where I was honored to be named Teacher of the Year in 2022.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Anderson University, a Master’s degree in Instructional Coaching from Clemson University, and a Master’s degree in School Administration and Supervision from Anderson University.
Returning to Centerville is a meaningful full-circle moment for me, as I once walked these very hallways as a student. I’m passionate about literacy and committed to supporting both teachers and students in building strong, lifelong reading habits.
