The Class of 2014 has chosen to dedicate their reunion class giving in memory of their fellow alum, Carter Holland. The hope is to raise funds in his memory to help dedicate a space on the SSSAS Upper School campus.
Carter passed in August 2020. With music as his first love, Carter’s talent was only surpassed by his kindness, unconditional love for his wide circle of friends, wry wit and calm dignity as the embodiment of a true Southern gentleman.
Carter was an SSSAS lifer, having started his schooling there in kindergarten. He excelled on the cross country team and the orchestra. During those years, he achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and was honored with the Great Son award from Alpine Camp for Boys in Mentone, Alabama.
After SSSAS and graduating from the College of Charleston, Carter shared his musical talents as a composer and multi-instrumentalist in a Charleston band and at garden parties to support Historic Alexandria Foundation. He launched his career path at the I’On Club in SC and Potomack Company Auctions in Alexandria before becoming a journalist for Law Street Media in Washington, D.C., following in the career footsteps of his father.
