My name is Holly Neal.  I have lived in Marion my entire life.  My husband, Random, and I were married in July 2014.  This is my 13th year at Washington School as a Reading Specialist.  I truly enjoy working at Washington!  I attended John A. Logan College and then Southern Illinois University Carbondale for my Bachelor's of Science.  After graduation, I returned to SIUC to obtain a Master's of Science in Reading and Language.

I truly enjoy my job as a Reading Specialist and love watching my students develop throughout the year. I work with them daily and am able to really focus on the individual skills they need.  It is amazing to see the progress they make during the year!
