Meet the Academic Boosters
DO YOU WANT TO MEET OTHER HHS
PARENTS?
DO YOU WANT TO BE “IN THE LOOP”?
DO YOU WANT TO STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR STUDENT’S
SCHOOL?
Holland High Academic Boosters are currently inactive... but stay tuned in case meetings begin again!
Who are we?
Holland High parents who want to practically and positively “boost” the achievements of HHS students. Our mission statement: “We are a group of parents willing to undertake specific projects designed to position HHS students to be more academically successful and to celebrate that success.”
What do we do?
We focus on academic support,
academic recognition, and communication. We work together with HHS
Principal Trujillo, teachers, and guidance counselors to:
*Enhance communication between HHS parents, students, and the
school.
*Find meaningful opportunities for parents to help at the school
and in the classrooms.
*Recognize and advocate for each student’s
accomplishments.
Completed projects
*Helped rewrite the students’
course catalog and core selection materials for class sign ups.
*Wrote a grant application that gave Holland High a $25,000 award
from the Holland Education Association for 25 Dell computers for
the school’s business lab.
Ongoing projects
*Meet monthly, with a variety
of topics and speakers, and helpful parent-to-parent exchanges of
ideas and information. (Great for new HHS parents!)
*Create a monthly “MindSpace” display case in the main school
hallway to highlight HHS student achievements and activities.
*Provide teacher appreciation dinners during the Mondays of HHS
parent-teacher conferences each trimester, and occasional treats in
the staff lounge.
*Assemble and update a parent volunteer list.
