Elizabeth Holladay Elementary School is named for Miss
Elizabeth Jane Holladay, a pioneer teacher who started
the first public school in the Glen Allen area of Henrico
County at her home in 1886. She retired in 1901.
The present day Holladay Elementary School opened
its doors and welcomed its first students for the 1968-
69 school year. At that time there were no kindergarten
classes in Henrico County and elementary school went
through the seventh grade. In the 1974-75 school year
the county added kindergarten classes to all elementary
schools.
