Back to School in 2023

Gentex is sponsoring the 2nd Annual Districtwide STEM Night on Thursday, September 24, 5-7pm in the HHS Commons

If a student is absent, arrives late, or needs to leave early, you can let your school's office know through the HPS Mobile App.

• We hope this is a convenient way to report absences and will save you (and our secretaries) a significant amount of time.  

The entire Holland Community is invited to celebrate HOMECOMING 2026 with the students and staff of Holland Public Schools.

Holland Public Schools is celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, and hosting the 6th Annual Holland Hispanic Heritage Community Celebration on Friday Night. Learn more about it with HLA Principal Iliana Vasquéz.

• LISTEN NOW!

Being late to school/class, even just a few minutes, adds up quickly: 

• 10 minutes/day = 50 minutes/week = 1.5 weeks/year
• 20 minutes/day = 1 hour 40 minutes/week = 2.5 weeks/year
• 30 minutes/day = 1 hour 40 minutes/week = 4 weeks/year
• 1 hour/day = 1 day/week = 8 weeks/year

When you’re ON TIMe, you:

• don't miss instruction & learning opportunities.
• can achieve your full potential.
• develop healthy habits for life & career.
• are not a distraction to others.

Join HPS students and staff as we celebrate the start of Hispanic Heritage Month!
