Take teacher appreciation to a new level

The Holdsworth Center exists to support public educators in Texas.

Since 2017, Holdsworth has served leaders in more than 75 districts across Texas through its world-class leadership programs and services.

Since most program participants are school and district administrators, the Teacher Retreat is curated especially for teachers to show our appreciation.

Our hope is that teachers from different parts of the state get the opportunity to experience the Campus on Lake Austin, a one-of-a-kind place dedicated to the idea that public education holds worth

The weekend is all about them – with their needs taken care of, they’re able to relax, enjoy time with their peers and learn about ways to manage stress and enhance their well-being. 

Holdsworth founder and H-E-B Chairman Charles Butt built the Campus on Lake Austin as a gift to hardworking educators, who he believes deserve world-class professional development opportunities in a setting that rivals what CEOs and business executives experience.

I left feeling respected, valued and rejuvenated. The learning was engaging and spoke honestly to where I am as an educator right now.
Kim Clements | Teacher, Laurel Mountain Elementary
The focus on wellness, relaxation, time with peers and amazing food, location and accommodations was top notch!
Kelly Hobbs | Teacher, Forest Creek Elementary
The beautiful campus, inspiring presenters and time with peers was invaluable for refocusing on the reasons why I got into education and the goals I have for the future.
