By Keira Chen (III) This year, Pingry welcomes back Ms. Holmes-Glogower to co-teach Form III Financial Literacy alongside Mr. Weckesser, as well as work as the Director of People Operations and Talent Development. Ms. Holmes-Glogower is also involved with several Pingry groups, including the Alumni Board, the Alumni of Color Affinity group, and the Anti-Racism Task Force.
She has two children, one of whom attends kindergarten at the Pingry Short Hills campus. Ms. Holmes-Glogower graduated from Pingry in ’99 and attended Columbia University, receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. She later returned to Pingry to fill in several positions because of her love of the community.
Having worked closely with finance in the past, Ms. Holmes-Glogower agreed to teach Financial Literacy, stating that “It just made sense… to leverage that knowledge to help our students.”
Ms. Holmes-Glogower says she’s excited by Pingry’s growth, though she has more in mind for Pingry’s future. Her goal is to create a long-term plan to solidify Pingry’s HR team; this year is just for laying the foundation. Ms. Holmes-Glogower’s free time is mostly spent with her kids, although she enjoys reading, watching soccer, and studying interior design. When asked what else she’d like to share, Ms. Holmes-Glogower responded that she’s “… excited to be back at Pingry, as it’s a place that did a lot for me in my life; to be able to come back and give back to the school in a significant way is really important to me, and I feel really lucky that I’m able to do it.”
