As we close another successful school year at Holland Public Schools, I want to take a moment to thank our students, staff, families, and community for their continued support and partnership. Together, we are building something truly special, and it is clear that Holland Public Schools is a district on the rise.

HMS named a Green School

Tue, 26 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Holland Middle School was named one of just 419 schools in Michigan as a Green School by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Environment (EGLE).

To earn MI Green Schools certification, HMS completed at least 10 approved environmental activities throughout the school year. For example:

Student-led recycling efforts
The Bird Feeder project
The HMS Greenhouse

Michigan Green Schools supports and celebrates the achievements of PreK-12 schools in protecting the state's air, land, water, and ecosystems through their commitments to environmental education and stewardship actions.
