Completing the Education Benefits Form is a key step to unlocking essential support for all HPS students. Federal & state resources are allocated based on the income data collected through this form. Without this data the district could lose out on critical funding. 

 In partnership with the Critter Barn, Holland Public School is now offering Pre-K Farm School.

• 4-year-old students will travel to the Critter Barn each week for lessons about life on the Farm.
• Lessons they learn at the farm will help teach students about Math and Reading.
• Develop and nurture each child's academic, social, emotional, and creative abilities.
• Students will build friendships and experience caring teachers.

There are limited openings in the 25-26 HPS Pre-K Farm School.

We’re excited for another great school year at Holland Public Schools—full of learning, connection, and opportunities for every student.
