Holly Kapp

Ms. Holly Kapp is back for her third year at POP! Ms. Kapp graduated summa cum laude from Austin College in 2020 with a B.A. in English Literature. During this time, Ms. Kapp completed on honors thesis which explored the role of the Virgin Mary in Medieval Literature and compared that role to her absence in Early Modern Literature; impressively, Ms. Kapp's research was accepted as a part of a national undergraduate research conference at Johns Hopkins University in 2020. Additionally, Ms. Kapp earned a M.A. in Teaching with an emphasis on 7th-12th grade ELA and Reading in 2021. Ms. Kapp's graduate research examined peer writing tutors and the transfer of writing skills between tutors over time.

Prior to teaching in the Diocese of Dallas, Ms. Kapp taught in the Frisco Independent School District for two years. In her spare time, Ms. Kapp enjoys learning more about the Catholic faith, traveling, reading and writing, and spending time outside. 

As a parishioner at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, Ms. Kapp has volunteered extensively with POP Young Church, where she's had the opportunity to share about her faith with middle school students. Middle school has Ms. Kapp's heart as she enjoys seeing students begin to think independently and create deep connections between themselves and the world around them.
