SALT LAKE CITY – After 27 years, Art Holder is retiring from teaching at Judge Memorial Catholic High School. During that time, he taught World Languages, AP Human Geography, Human Geography and English Language for International Studies. From 1995 to 2015, he led an exchange program with a high school in Chemnitz, Germany. Judge students would host German students in their homes for three weeks one year and they would travel to Chemnitz to stay with those students the following year.
“It was a great opportunity for Judge students to experience German culture firsthand,” he said. “It also made them realize, ‘Hey everybody doesn’t speak English.’”
Elizabeth Burrowes Vierra
July 28, 1937 ~ May 19, 2021
We all lost a strong, courageous woman on May 19, 2021. Elizabeth Burrowes Vierra was born on July 28, 1937 in Oakland, California. The only child of Robert Jamieson and Dorothy Burrowes, Bette was raised by maternal grandparents and her aunt and uncle. She graduated from Hayward High School in the Bay Area and went on to the University of California, Berkeley. Bette became an avid civil rights activist and began cultivating her lifelong mission and calling to serve others.
Bette married her high school sweetheart, Ken Vierra Sr., and they began their life as a young couple in Salt Lake City. They were eventually blessed with five children. They raised their children in both California and Utah, until they settled into their family home in the Holladay area of Salt Lake City.
