I believe in actively involving all community members so we can each take pride, care, and responsibility for making our community the best it can be." --Shenée Johnson Holloway
I am Shenée Johnson Holloway, a long-time resident of Duluth, and I am your newly elected Duluth City Council Member for Post 5.
I currently serve as a Coordinator for Family Engagement with Gwinnett County Public Schools. I had the privilege of being an English/Language Arts teacher at Hull Middle School and Duluth High School, and I was honored to be named Teacher of the Year at Hull Middle for the 2012-2013 school year. In addition to my work in education, I have been actively involved in various roles within the community.
Let's build bridges together!
