Welcome to Holland Public Schools

 In partnership with the Critter Barn, Holland Public School is now offering Pre-K Farm School.

• 4-year-old students will travel to the Critter Barn each week for lessons about life on the Farm.
• Lessons they learn at the farm will help teach students about Math and Reading.
• Develop and nurture each child's academic, social, emotional, and creative abilities.
• Students will build friendships and experience caring teachers.

There are limited openings in the 25-26 HPS Pre-K Farm School.

We’re excited for another great school year at Holland Public Schools—full of learning, connection, and opportunities for every student.

Greetings from the Outdoor Discovery Center!

Thanks for a wonderful first two weeks of camp! We have really enjoyed our outdoor time together. Next week’s forecast looks a bit steamy.

This week we talk with the Future Prep'd team from Holland High School and hear about the answer to their driving question: How can HPS unite the community around the success of ALL students?
