A photo of HES Principal Erin DiRenzo
Hi! My name is Mrs. Erin DiRenzo! I am thrilled to be your child's principal!

The 2024-2025 school year will be my 23rd year working in the Saint May's County Public School System. I have served as a classroom teacher, instructional resource teacher, assistant principal, and now principal. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Indiana University of PA, and Earned my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and Human Resources from Towson University.

As the principal of Hollywood Elementary School (HES), I would like to welcome you to Hollywood, home of the Herons. At HES we are committed to setting high academic standards for our students while providing a safe and nurturing environment that encourages curiosity and a love for learning.

I am honored to be your principal and am truly excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for our students and our school community. Let us work together to make this school year a memorable and enriching experience for everyone!
