Welcome to Holland Public Schools

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.

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.

From September 15 through October 15, Holland Public Schools proudly joins our nation in celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month. This annual observance recognizes the rich histories, diverse cultures, and enduring contributions of individuals whose ancestry traces back to Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Spain.

Students & families from each of the K-5 Elementary Schools are encouraged to come to the Varsity Football Game on Friday Night for Elementary Night at Dutch Football. We're talking about it this week with HHS Athletic Director Blake Muller.
