Welcome to Holland Public Schools

In August, College Board awarded thousands of students from across the country with academic honors through our annual National Recognition Programs. The programs celebrate underrepresented students who excel academically on College Board assessments, including PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and AP® exams.

• Sofia Angulo
• Yanyssa Ochoa
• Alan Juarez

High-achieving students from all 50 states and U.S. territories were eligible to apply. These student earned this academic honor because of their GPA of 3.5 or higher and outstanding performance on the PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and/or AP® Exams. They can now list this honor on applications to stand out to colleges. Students can include this academic honor on their college applications, and many colleges intentionally recruit awardees through College Board’s Student Search Service™. 

Parent-teacher conferences are a great opportunity to:

• share academic progress and growth based on classroom observations, testing data, assessments, portfolios, and assignments
• learn from parents or guardians so teachers can be better informed about students' strengths, needs, behaviors, and learning styles
• discuss enrichment or intervention strategies to support students' learning
• discuss issues that may be interfering with students' learning and growth

At HHS and HMS, Conferences appointments are walk-in during listed days/hours. Parents of K-5 students can schedule an appointment time at the links below.

While a recent social media posts threatening a neighboring district amounted to unsubstantiated rumors (and had no connection to  Holland Public Schools), this is a good reminder of the importance of reporting anything suspicious to the authorities that could disrupt the safety and security of our schools.
