Join HPS is congratulating Patti Arndt on her second retirement from the district.

  • She started teaching in 1969 at Harrington School. (She also taught at Van Raalte School)
  • She retired the first time in 2009.

All of us at HPS will miss the incredible impact Mrs. Arndt has on students and families in Holland.


I will miss these people and the kids. Working in (the ASD classroom) with these Autistic kids; they've gotten into my heart and it was a new adventure for me.

Mrs Arndt says she'll spend  more time at the golf course and will continue to serve Holland and the homeless community in the city as a volunteer at Lifeline Ministries in Holland.
