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.’”

She graduated from Hayward High School in the Bay Area and went on to the University of California, Berkeley.

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.

Over 48 years, Veronica Brand has taught hundreds of elementary and middle-school students. She has presented lessons on social studies, language arts, science, math and music, using songs to help students memorize the Preamble to the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address. But as she prepares to retire at the end of this school year, she hopes her former students from St. Ann’s (now Kearns-St. Ann’s) and St. Francis Xavier Catholic schools recall the two most important lessons she tried to share with each of her “children.”
