Mr. Anthony Holland will be serving as the new principal of Central High School. Many Central students and staff already know Mr. Holland from his role as assistant principal. He is a proud, third-generation KCPS graduate.

Mr. Holland was born in Kansas City, Missouri. After graduating from the Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts, he earned his first — and favorite! — degree from Metropolitan Community College-Penn Valley. He also holds a bachelor’s in Elementary Education from Graceland University and a Master’s of Science in School Leadership from Baker University. He is currently pursuing his doctorate in Educational Leadership at Baker. Mr. Holland is a career educator with 18 years of experience who has taught students at every level from pre-K to high school. He has worked as an ISS Supervisor, Recovery Room/Behavior Interventionist, reading coach, classroom teacher, PBIS team leader, baseball coach and assistant principal. For Mr. Holland, it is a privilege to serve in the neighborhoods where he grew up. He and his wife, Anya, a music teacher in Liberty, have four children: Alana, Alivia, Anthony III and Chamberlain.
