Mary Elizabeth Society
Named in honor of our founder’s trailblazing mother, the Mary Elizabeth Society is instrumental in making The Holdsworth Center's vision a reality. This distinguished group of supporters contributes $10,000 or more annually to help build a public school system where every district and school is led by an outstanding superintendent or principal.
