Superintendent’s Message

On behalf of the Board of Education, administration, and staff of the Holland Township School District, I would like to welcome you to our website.  We are a Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth Grade district with an enrollment of approximately 650 students.

Holland Township has had a long standing reputation for excellence and high expectations for its students and as a “School to Watch” is recognized as a model for other districts.  Our teachers are dedicated to providing our students with educational programs and opportunities that promote personal growth and academic achievement.   Students are provided with experiences that teach them the responsibilities of good citizenship and prepare them to become individuals who can effectively function in our democratic society.

In these difficult economic times, our district continues to be faced with the challenge of providing quality programs with fewer resources.  Despite the loss of $512,000 in state aid that created a reduction in our workforce that included teachers and support staff we have been able to maintain all program offerings and extra-curricular activities that our community is accustomed to.

Our school operates under a community school concept.  We are committed to open and honest communication between school and community to enhance public understanding and participation in our programs and activities.  Our school facilities are used for a variety of community activities including scouts, township-sponsored sports, and meetings of community-based committees and organizations.

Administration, teachers, and staff are dedicated to providing a positive, safe, and nurturing environment where all students strive to reach their full potential.  Our open-door policy encourages dialog between teachers, parents, and administration in the common goal of providing the best educational experience for the children of Holland Township.

I am proud of the efforts and accomplishments of our students and staff, and I look forward to continuing our efforts with parents and the community in providing our students with the best education possible.
