Your Holly Board of Directors​

​Cathy McMullan
Cathy McMullan is married and has four children. She has lived in the Dahlonega area
since 1985 and has been teaching at Long Branch Elementary school since 1999. Her
love of working with children led her to volunteer during the senior summer camp in
2013. Since then, she has returned to work with the summer camps each year and has
costumed many shows for the theater. She hopes to continue using her creativity to
help the Holly be successful and to grow the children's theater program.
