Overall it wasn't too bad but It could've been way better in all areas, I had a great time here with friends and teachers and am glad to have those memories but I wish it could've been more.

My experience with Holland High has been overall fairly positive, they've got great clubs in their quiz bowl club, chess club, and SHORE club, along with having great AP teachers. Their one big flaw I'd say is their bathrooms, as while some are fairly well-kept, others are more dilapidated and forgotten.

The best part of my experience here was getting the opportunity to preform at MI Thespian festival 2023, giving me the chance to compete in musical theatre numbers and plays as well as take many classes on improving different spots of interest within the realm of theatre. The worst parts of my experience was probably being forced to switch to virtual learning in 2020, and the struggle to adapt and get used to the changes.

I am a better person because of this school. There is a kid that comes from every background and we all work together. It’s so diverse not only in the different races and backgrounds, but also because football players can be in vocals and freshman can be in student senate.

My son is getting an exceptional education at Holland High. He is an advanced student and in 8th grade is already taking Latin, advanced english, and algebra. He has been invited to attend private boarding schools but we feel he can get a better education here.
