Holland is a neighborhood school where students, parents and teachers know one another by name. Being a smaller school gives us the ability to help our students feel safe and supported.

• Parent and community involvement is strong in Holland. Many volunteers from both the community and surrounding neighborhood contribute their time in Holland each month. Our Partners in Education include: Southminster Presbyterian Church, Messiah Lutheran Church, Sunset Church of Christ, Brentwood Library and Rick's Automotive.
• Title I funding provides additional resources for teachers and students. Reading specialists work one-on-one with students and use the push-in model to assist classes with reading.
• We are a literacy model school with a full-time literacy coach to work with students and teachers. We use the Response to Intervention model to provide interventions before special education is considered. We have a schoolwide behavior program called Hawk P.R.I.D.E., which recognizes students for character traits they exhibit.
• Holland houses the district's program for students who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH).

Mission

Our mission is to promote the academic, social and emotional development of each child in a safe environment.

Vision

The Holland community is expected to collaborate as productive, global citizens engaged in continuous learning, acceptance of individual differences and stewardship of our Earth.

Collective Commitments

As a staff committed to excellence for all of our students, we will:

• Help students to be reflective, responsible, independent thinkers
• Work collaboratively to monitor progress and adjust instruction
• Foster a safe learning community that values Politeness, Respect,
  Integrity, Discipline and Effort (Hawk PRIDE)
• Encourage families to be active in the school learning community
• Model stewardship of our school, community and Earth
