From the Desk of Dr. Davis, HPS Superintendent | Decisions are Coming

This week, we're talking with Superintendent Nick Cassidy about the renovation and construction projects in the district.

On Monday, April 8 – just after we return from Spring Break - we will be in the path of a solar eclipse. West Michigan will experience a partial eclipse from 1:55 to 4:24pm with 94% totality at 3:11pm.

While this is an amazing educational opportunity, there are also potential risks. Viewing of the eclipse without proper eye protection can cause permanent damage to vision. And regular sunglasses do not provide adequate protection. 

Kelsey Hanson and Thaddeus Le Febre are the 12th and 13th recipients of the Teachers Live Here grant since it launched in January 2023. The $25,700 grant will assist them with the down payment on a home in or near the district. 

Holland Public Schools wants your help in celebrating the great work being done by teachers and staff in our schools.

For HPS Families in need of an artifical Christmas Tree, ornaments and lights, and stockings.

• Tuesday, December 5, 5-7pm at West Elementary

Thank you to the Woodard Family for this great event.

October count shows the district grew by 44 students in the last year.

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.
