Sarah Holmes

RES Math Specialist

This is Sarah's 5th year as Math Specialist at RES. She has worked in public education in NH for twenty four years .

Sarah's math mission is to facilitate learners to discover that we are all good at math! We only need time to discover how we best make sense of the math problems.

When Sarah is not focused on her math mission, she enjoys living in Rye with her husband, 2 children (one in RES and one at RJH), and their cat.
