This week’s Hylander Saturday Staff Spotlight is Jenny Linderholm, 1st Grade Teacher at Highland Elementary! This is Jenny’s third year as a Hylander. She has been a teacher for 14 years and has been educating Minnesota’s youngest learners since she began.
Some fun things to know about Jenny are that she grew up in St. Louis Park and attended Normandale Community College where she earned her Associate’s Degree, and then attended Metropolitan State University where she got her Bachelor’s Degree and Urban Teaching License. Jenny’s brother has four children who she loves to spend time with and they make her the proud aunt of two nieces and two nephews.
“What I love most about Columbia Heights Public Schools is the strong sense of community. It truly feels like a close-knit family where staff work together to support and care for students and their families. CHPS values community connections and creates an environment where everyone feels welcomed and supported. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was a young child, and after 13 (starting 14) years in education, I still love what I do. I enjoy working in a district that genuinely values its students, staff, and community. Over the past few years at CHPS, I have built many meaningful relationships and have cherished getting to know my colleagues, students, and families. I look forward to continuing to strengthen those connections and growing alongside this wonderful community.” - Jenny Linderholm
