Catie Holt’s story reads like a favorite chapter book — warm, engaging, and full of purpose. A Cedarville University alumna, Catie’s years on campus gave her more than a degree; they gave her a biblical lens with which to view the world. That foundation became her anchor as she traveled across continents, teaching in China and later in the heart of Chicago’s bustling Chinatown.

Catie’s influence and heart for young learners have had an impact far beyond the classroom. She played a creative role in developing the Cedarville Cursive Google font, a handwriting style that has gained widespread popularity for its charm, readability, and nostalgic beauty. It’s now used in everything from educational materials to digital design, becoming a small but meaningful part of how ideas are shared.

Today, Catie lives along the peaceful lake shore in southwest Michigan, where her days revolve around faith, family, and a lifelong love for books. With her young children in school, she’s turning her energy toward expanding her collection of online lesson plans — offering thoughtful resources shaped by years of hands-on experience.

In a recent appearance on the Cedarville Stories podcast, Catie reflected on her time at Cedarville and how it equipped her to engage the world with confidence and conviction. Whether in overseas classrooms, urban neighborhoods, or as a mom, her passion for education and truth has remained steady.

Catie Holt’s journey is a quiet testament to the power of faith, creativity, and lifelong learning — written in cursive and lived with grace.
