TEACHING STAFF
Headmaster
Holy Family Academy is excited to introduce Mr. Tim Meinholz as the headmaster of the academy. Mr. Meinholz has taught in public and private schools for the last 15 years. In that time, he has mainly taught grades 3rd through 5th, with experience in grades 1st through 8th. Besides his classroom duties, he has been part of School Improvement Teams for two different districts as well as a Curriculum Renewal Committee. He has specialized as a Math Coach, and has extensive training in Math instructions for grades three through five. This specialty allowed him to teach the gifted and talented in math during his time in the Middleton Cross Plains District. He was nominated for the Presidential Award for Academic Excellence in Math and Science. He holds a BA in Elementary Education from Edgewood College and a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Phoenix. He was active for many years as a soccer Coach for various clubs, including the Madison 56ers, Middleton United, and Magic Soccer Club. When he is not fulfilling his duties at school, he enjoys spending time with his best friend and wife, Kate, and his eight children. His pastimes include playing games and sports with his children as well as reading and gardening.

Celeste graduated in 2024 from St. John Bosco Academy Homeschooling and is very excited to pursue teaching. She is taking on the task of teaching Kindergarten and 1st grade for the 2024-2025 school year at Holy Family Academy. She will also be very active in teaching Physical Education for all grades. Celeste is also very compassionate about homesteading and horses.
Kylie has a passion for education and after having taught at a Catholic school in New Mexico for a year has now returned to her home state of Wisconsin and is eager to share her knowledge and enthusiasm with the students here at Holy Family Academy. Kylie is excited for her task on being the homeroom teacher for the 2nd grade and being the art teacher for grades K-8. Kylie finds joy in reading, golfing, baking, crafting, and the arts.
Veronica Meinholz was born and raised in southwest Wisconsin, the oldest of a traditional Catholic family of eleven. She was homeschooled through high school, where she especially enjoyed math, reading, and lettering (cursive, calligraphy, etc). The 2024-2025 academic year will be her second year teaching at Holy Family Academy, taking on the great task of teaching the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades as well as Music for all grades. Veronica also works at a vineyard, and enjoys reading, cooking, and crafting in her spare time.
Theresa completed her associates degree in liberal arts at St. Mary's College in Kansas in 2023. After graduating college, she took on the task of teaching 40 sixth grade boys, math, science, and history at St. Mary's Academy also in Kansas! Theresa is excited to finally be back home in Wisconsin after her 3 years away, and she is pumped to be taking on the next challenge of teaching 4th and 5th grade at Holy Family Academy. She knows that it will be a big adjustment going from 40 students to about 5 students, but she can't wait to get started! Theresa is also excited that she will be teaching Latin to all the HFA students since she has taken 13 years of Latin, including 2 years of college Latin, under some of the greatest Latin professors alive today. Some of Theresa's hobbies include dancing, roller blading, hiking, volleyball, and pretty much any activity that can be done outside!
Theresa also married her husband Elijah in January 2025. But don't worry the students are doing great adjusting to calling her Mrs. Skalsky instead of Miss Clemens!
Our School Board
Our school board consists of 5 members. Some members of the board are also the founders of Holy Family Academy. They founded the school as an investment in their children’s future and they are passionate about leading the school prayerfully and thoughtfully. As an act of confidence in Our Blessed Mother and a request for her assistance with this venture, the board members began this project by consecrating themselves entirely to her.
