HHS Recognized for Honoring Veterans in the School Community

Armed Forces Thanksgiving is an annual West Michigan event that partners veterans with high school students to honor and celebrate our nation’s military veterans.  

  • During the 11th annual event on Friday, May 15, Holland High School was named the recipient of the Peter Ruppert Thanksgiving in Action Award for its efforts in honoring veterans in the school community. The Award recognizes HHS for its annual Veterans Day Assembly and the creation of the Wall of Honor in the High School Commons.

The Wall of Honor was unveiled on November 11, 2025 and is a public display of gratitude for the Holland High School alumni who have served our nation.
