Welcome to another exciting school year at Holland Public Schools! 

The beginning of a new school year is always filled with hope, anticipation, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of our students.

Whether you are returning to HPS or joining our district for the first time, we are grateful you are part of our school community.

The first day of School is Thursday, August 27.

Holland Heights families, neighbors, former Heights teachers and members of the community came by to check out our brand new nature-based school during a Grand Opening celebration on Sunday.

Books & Games provides students with an hour of supervised reading, homework help, and games, plus a free breakfast an hour before school starts each morning.

• It also gives parents/guardians an extra hour to start their day or  to get to work on time!

Students must be registered Books & Games 1 day before attending.

Holland Public Schools staff are getting ready for the school year ahead. This July, 43 teachers from around the district took that commitment a step further. 

Thanks to a generous sponsorship from Huntington Bank, our team traveled to Atlanta to visit the Ron Clark Academy, a school celebrated worldwide for the way it builds belonging, culture, and joy into every part of the student experience.

HHS Alumni will perform in a fundraiser concert for Dutch Theatre on Wednesday, August 12 at Park Theatre: Homecoming: A Dutch Theatre Alumni Show.  Dutch Theatre Director Kate Colburn talks about it in this week's HPSPodcast.
