MICDS Student Reviews Holt Theater Performance

As part of the "Cappies" program, Holt's production of "Is He Dead?" is reviewed by Tally Portnoi.

By Tally Portnoi, Mary Institute St. Louis Country Day School Do you ever get mixed up in your friends’ crazy schemes? Well Jean Francoise Millet sure did! In Holt High School’s production of "Is He Dead?," Millet’s friends convince him to fake his own death in order to get his paintings to sell. "Is He Dead?" follows the story of Millet, a struggling artist who cannot sell a painting to save his life. When his friends and loved ones find themselves in deep debt, Millet needs to find a way to help them.

Holt Wrestling Produces Strong Finish at MICDS Tournament

Holt journeyed to MICDS this weekend to compete in an 18-team invitational tournament and took third place with four wrestlers in the finals.

Less than a month ahead of district competition, Holt’s wrestling squad traveled to MICDS this weekend to compete in the 45th annual Eric Lewis Invitational Tournament.

Youthful Holt Wrestling Team Seeks Experience

Team is striving for excellence.

Competition is in full swing for a youthful Holt wrestling squad hoping to maintain the school’s strong tradition of excellence in the sport. After graduating several key seniors last year the team is taking this season one match at a time. The Indians are building experience while also looking for solid performances from state qualifiers Clayton Ream (sophomore) and Brett Beckmann (senior). Holt has a 2-2 record in at dual meets this season with wins over Francis Howell North and Troy. The Indians took seventh place at the 16-team Ron Sauer Invitational in early December at Fox.
