Hello, my name is Donah Callaway. I have been employed with the Holmen School District since 2005, and I’m proud to be a part of this wonderful community.  My husband and I moved to Holmen in 1995, and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 

I have two daughters who have been students in the Holmen District, and I am very proud of the education they have received. This has been an excellent place to work and raise children.

I currently teach Academic Success.  Academic Success Center (ASC) provides a structured, academically supportive study environment, and offers one-on-one assistance.  Students have the opportunity to complete homework assignments, make-up work, receive assistance on assignments or projects, and take tests.

 In addition, I teach a newer course offering called Why Try.  The WhyTry Program is a resilience education curriculum that provides simple, hands-on solutions for dropout prevention, violence prevention, truancy reduction, and increased academic success.

My ultimate goal as a teacher is a very basic one, and that is to teach students how to broaden their horizons by becoming lifelong learners and connecting their experiences in the classroom to the outside real world. I strive to help each student become successful. Many times they just need to know that someone believes in them.  I want students to see that anything is possible with motivation and a positive attitude.  I believe teaching is an incredibly important profession and I’m honored to be a part of it.

                                                My motto is “Never, Ever Quit!”
