Simsbury board appoints Catherine Holden as director of athletics and student activities
Summary
The Board of Education voted to appoint Catherine Holden as director of athletics and student activities effective 02/25/2026; the appointment followed an executive-session interview and a voice vote in favor.
The Simsbury Board of Education appointed Catherine Holden to the position of director of athletics and student activities, with an effective date read in the meeting as 02/25/2026.
The candidate had interviewed in executive session; the board president summarized her long track record at the high school (department supervisor, teacher and athletics supporter) and recommended the appointment. A board member formally moved to appoint Catherine Holden; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Several members offered congratulations and praised the candidate's visibility and accessibility in the school community.
The board did not record an extended debate over the appointment in the public portion of the meeting. Next steps were celebratory remarks and the routine administrative processing of the hire.
Note on names: during the public discussion the board president addressed "Heather" while introducing the candidate; the formal motion named Catherine Holden as the appointee. The transcript therefore contains both names in the same portion of the meeting and does not clarify if they refer to the same person; the article reports the recorded motion's name (Catherine Holden) and notes the transcript's ambiguity.
