As you learn more about our school, visit campuses, and meet the people of the community, you will see that our mission is not just a collection of meaningless words, but a rallying cry that guides every decision we make, and every student and class we teach.
Who Are We?
We are a vibrant, multi-campus community united by a common mission to equip minds and nurture hearts to transform the world for Jesus Christ.
HC Stories
Holland Christian is more than just a building, it’s a community made up of many people, each with a different background and story of how they came to be here. One of the best ways to get to know us as a school is to hear the stories of the families that make up that community.
Our Mission & Beliefs
Our mission here at Holland Christian Schools is to equip our students’ minds and nurture their hearts in such a holy way as to prepare those minds and hearts to transform our world for Jesus Christ. It is not something we take lightly or flippantly, but gives us joyful meaning and glad purpose each day we’re here. It unites us as well, so that what happens in 2nd grade is important to us later in middle school, so that the quality work done by our preschool teacher aides and school janitors is as important as the work accomplished by Bible teachers and administrators.
Our People
At Holland Christian, you will meet teachers, administrators, and staff who are passionate about Christian education as a partnership between school, church, and family. Our faculty and staff dedicate themselves to continuous improvement so that students are prepared to follow the educational and career paths of their choosing. They relish the opportunity to forge mentoring relationships with young people that will echo for years to come. Our school leaders ensure that the core values which gave birth to Holland Christian Schools over 100 years ago continue to guide our path in the complex world of the 21st Century.
Our Alumni
Holland Christian Schools has been serving families since 1901, with our first high school class graduating in 1922. Since then, more than 13,500 graduates have left Holland Christian prepared to love and serve in God’s world, working to transform it for Jesus Christ. We consider you, our graduates, not only our success stories, but also our extended family, and love to hear your stories and know what you are up to, how you’re doing life!
Better Together in Christ
Since the beginning of our school’s history, Holland Christian Schools has sought to produce resilient and equipped followers of Jesus in partnership with the home and the local body of Christ. Today, while still being grounded in the Reformed tradition, HC families now represent over 150 different local churches. Given the exciting opportunity to serve a growing ecumenical community, HCS seeks to establish a place of belonging and discovery for all HCS families with a specific focus on the changing ethnic and economic diversity of the local church as well as the varied learning capabilities of students. In order to fulfill this strategic priority, HCS has established a Diversity Council, which includes HC board members, teachers, administrators, parents, and local pastors, and they are divided into three subcommittee groups that focus on Curriculum, Hospitality, and Retention & Recruitment. For more information, please feel free to reach out to the Diversity Council chair and HCHS principal, Mr. Miles Colago.
Board of Trustees
Typically, our Board of Trustees comprises a cross-section of our school community, primarily parents of children attending the school currently. Over the years this has included tradespeople, educators, small business owners, doctors, bankers, and stay-at-home moms. Currently there are 10 board members, but that number varies between 9-12 members depending on the needs of the board and the availability of those willing to serve.
