As we approach the end of another summer, I always look forward to fall as a new beginning. When our students return every September, I see the joy and excitement on their faces as they embark upon a new adventure in a new grade.

Staff throughout the district have worked extremely hard this summer to ensure that the schools are ready for students to return in September. I love seeing the progress throughout the district and appreciate all of the hard work our maintenance and buildings and grounds staff is doing to make our schools the best they can be.

Additionally, we have seen many of our faculty and teachers in the buildings this summer as they work collaboratively to learn and improve to better transform education with our students. I look forward to seeing put into action all that they have learned and planned.

This year, we are also focusing on improving our communications efforts, both internally and with the school community, so that we can share more news and goings on at Holland Central School District with you. We hope you will visit our website, social media pages and read district publications to see what is happening in the schools. As you learn more about the School District, please reach out and give your feedback so we can make our efforts the best that they can be for the community.

After a wonderful response last year, we are also bringing back the Community Open House. This year, the event will be at the high school so that the community can see all of the work that has been done over the summer. We hope you will join us on August 29th from 5-6 p.m. at the High School.

On behalf of the Holland Central School District Board of Education, administration, faculty, and staff, welcome back!
