Alumnus returns to middle school as principal
More than 20 years after graduating from then–Elon College, Greg Holland continues to be surrounded by students on a daily basis. But it isn't college students he's interacting with, it's the students at Western Middle School, where Holland was recently appointed principal. Holland has lived in Elon his whole life. He attended Elon Elementary and Western Middle. He graduated from Western Alamance High School, received a degree in physical education from Elon and has since then worked in a variety of positions at local schools. "My hometown is Elon; I grew up right down beside the fire department," he said. "It's special to have the opportunity of being principal of a middle school where you attended school yourself." After Holland graduated from high school, he served in the U.S.
