Welcome Letter- 2026-2027
Dear HMS Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! Whether you are new to Holland Middle School or returning for another year, we are beyond excited to welcome your students back to school.
My name is Rene Bair, and I am honored to serve as your Principal. This marks my ninth year at HMS—four as Assistant Principal and four as Principal. As a parent of a 7th grader and a 4th grader, I am right there in the trenches with you! Like you, I’m ready for the school year to begin and eager to get back into the groove and routines with my own family.
Thank you for choosing Holland Middle School. We are beyond excited to partner with you to build your student's confidence, strengthen their academics, and set them up for success in high school and beyond. We look forward to sharing several new aspects of HMS with you this year and continuing to grow with your support.
