Every now and then, it’s helpful to revisit our expectations for fan behavior at our games to ensure we’re creating the best possible environment for our student-athletes. While this reminder may only apply to a small number of people, sharing it with everyone helps reinforce the positive culture we want to maintain.

We're talking about Friday's 4th Annual Hispanic Heritage Month Community Celebration.

Help students never miss the bus again.

The My Ride K-12 app helps improve communication between parents and HPS transportation staff and provides tools that help keep parents informed about their children’s daily journey on the bus. Parents/guardians can securely use the My Ride K-12 app to see bus stop location, their child’s assigned route, scheduled pickup time, and when to expect the bus each day.

Inspire Award: This award was presented to Holland Public Schools, a cornerstone of education in the Holland community since 1848. They inspire the community by uniting around the success of every student, creating trailblazing programs for staff and students, and providing meaningful opportunities in and out of the classroom to ensure academic and personal growth.

This week we talk with HEF President John Johnston to learn more about how the Holland Education Foundation plans to celebrate their 40 years of serving students and families in the City of Holland.
