Word of the Day

When used for a plant or animal species, endemic describes something that grows or exists in a certain place or area, and often specifically something restricted to a particular locality or region. Endemic is also used to describe diseases that persist over time in a particular region or population. It can also mean “common in a particular area or field.”

Our children were excited to finally see wild giant pandas—endemic to just three provinces in south-central China—during our family vacation.

He eventually learned that low wages were endemic to his line of work, but he continued nevertheless to pursue his passion.

Holland High School is pleased to announce the dates for our upcoming Student-Led Conferences: February 18 and 24, 2026 from 3:30-6:30pm. These conferences are a regular part of our school's approach to involving students in their educational progress.  Student participation is required. 

We’re also excited to offer family engagement stations in the Commons, complete with a free pizza dinner. Families can visit interactive stations focused on communication, goal setting, study skills, budgeting, and more. This will be available both nights, from 4-5:30 pm so you can stop by before or after your conference!   Check out the flyer for more information!
