Amanda Holloway is thrilled to be stepping up to the head coach position for Global Cross Country this year. With 2 seasons as assistant coach under her belt, she is still learning and enjoys running with the team even more. Coach Holloway races competitively on weekends and boasts over a dozen first place plaques for personal races from 5ks and 10ks. She placed in the top 10 percent in the Gate River Run and crossed the finish line of her first half marathon last year in 2024. 

Holloway heads the Visual Arts department at Global Leadership High School teaching AP Art in 2D, 3D, and Photography. She received her first Bachelor's degree in Photography in Philadelphia before working for the Conservation Corps out west, and returning for her Post-Bacc in Art Education from the University of Montana. She is still a practicing photographer and exhibiting artist who loves running, traveling, and spending time with her family here in Jacksonville.
