Summer Enrollment

Holland voters will see a Sinking Fund Proposal on the May 5 ballot. In addition to supporting ongoing facility repairs and improvements, the updated language in the proposal would allow the district to use these funds for transportation and maintenance vehicles. Proposal Highlights:

• No increase in the current millage rate (1.25) over the next 10 years
• Estimated revenue is approximately $2,540,000
• Expanded language will allow funding for transportation and maintenance of vehicles
• Helps maintain and protect voter-approved bond investments
• Reduces strain on the general operating budget

Holland Public Schools is incredibly grateful to the community for supporting the 2025 Millage Proposal. Funding will help build a new outdoor facility to support Athletics programs, Marching Band, and provide space for large community gatherings.

• Work will begin this Spring, following Softball/Baseball seasons.
• Construction of new facilities, bleachers, and field will begin in the Fall of 2026.
• Ribbon cutting and first ever HOME Football game will be held in the Fall of 2028.

The 8th-grade Student Council collected over a hundred items to donate to Harbor Humane Society, ranging from cleaning supplies and food to treats and leashes!

Kristin Constantino is the latest HPS Teacher to receive a Teachers Live Here grant. She was awarded $27,300 in down payment assistance. And, because she will purchase a home inside the district, she received an additional $2,500 to help pay closing costs
