We’re getting to the climax of this story. When Holland was in his 60s, the new principal (who was an asshole since the day Holland went teaching at Kennedy High) initiated a cost-cutting measure to comply with the school board which included… the total abolition of the department of drama, arts and music!
Holland was of course furious. He protested but lost. Came the day when he was moving his things out of the campus, his wife and son dropped by to help him and give moral support. When they passed by the auditorium, Holland heard the sound of commotion and he went inside to see what’s it about. Now, this was the tearjerking part… He found inside a lot of people — his co-teachers and administrators of the school and his former and present students and their parents all standing up and clapping when he entered the auditorium.
One of his students who he helped gain her self-confidence who became a governor praised Holland and his contribution to the community. Holland may not have his chance to stardom but in his community and in the lives of his students, he is forever the star.
