Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!

Holland High is excited to welcome students back for the 2024-2025 school year!

In this News Story, you’ll find all the key details about student schedules, school supplies, open house, the first-day schedule, Chromebooks, school pictures, the required quick meal application, and more!

Class Schedules: Students will have access to view their schedules in Infinite Campus on Tuesday, August 13. Fill out this Google Form if you desire a change to your current class schedule. A counselor will review this request and then do one of the following: 1. Make the change and notify you via email; 2. Set up a meeting with you regarding the change; 3. Notify you that the change cannot work in your schedule. Check your email regularly to stay tuned for this communication. 

School Supplies: Supplies may vary based on the courses students are taking. Teachers will communicate any course requirements during the first week of school. It’s recommended that students bring the following supplies- backpack, pens & pencils, highlighters, paper, notebooks, and pocket folders for each class. An agenda or planner is very helpful to help students stay organized and manage assignments. 

The Power H Shop is here to support families as we head back to school! Offering free household items in a retail setting, we can help ease financial burdens during this busy time. Join us on Thursday, August 15, from 4:30-6pm at Maplewood Elementary for our special Back 2 School event.
