As we prepare for the start of the next school year, it's time to register your student for 2026-27. This is something we ask ALL current HPS families to do EVERY year. Completing the registration lets us know:
- Your student(s) will be returning next year!
- Your household contact information is up to date
- Your student health information is up to date
- if you are requesting transportation for the 2026-2027 school year (Deadline to request bussing is August 1.)
Without this information, your student can not be added to a class list for next year OR have a class schedule created for them.
This week, we have highlights from the Holland Early College 13th Year Celebration - with Student Speaker Max Calanchi.
Every day at Escape Ministries, students who have been labeled as “failures” or “troubled youth” defy the odds to overcome family turmoil, addiction, expulsions, court sentences, deceased & incarcerated parents, and yet still somehow hang on. The Hero In Me program at Escape Ministries celebrates these heroic youth and helps the community to see beneath the surface – to peoples’ hearts and stories.
HHS is proud to have two students recognized as Hero In Me Finalists:
- Anotidaishe Mangwiro
- Juan Reyna
They both win $1000 scholarship each, and a college/career-ready backpack stuffed with a laptop and more, along with continued mentorship into their future endeavors.
