Dutch Mascot Review

Dear Holland Community,

As we move into the holiday season, we want to share important updates on the progress of our long-term facility work across Holland Public Schools. Thanks to your continued support, especially through the 2021 and 2025 bond initiatives, we continue to make meaningful improvements to support safe, innovative, and future-ready learning environments for all students. 

• Listen to HPSPodcast 6.15 with Superintendent Cassidy.

Trustees have appointed Rebekah Schipper to fill a vacancy on the Board of Education. Schipper will finish out the term left vacant by Tim Marroquin who was recently elected to the Holland City Council. Schipper will have the option to run for election in November 2026.

REMIND is the best way to get “Snow Day” announcements from HPS.

A special thank you to our Holland neighbors who donated new winter coats, boots, gloves, and hats to stock the shelves of the Power H Shop!

It’s never too early to start talking to children and teens about the risks they face online and continue talking about them at every age. Continuous discussions and reminders are key to safe online habits.
