Re-enrollment for all K-2 students:
We are asking that parents of students returning to Holland Christian for the 15/16 school year, please submit your re-enrollment confirmation. We have not heard from everyone yet and request your immediate attention to this very important task. We will extend the due date to Monday, March 16.
In order to help us be prepared and plan staffing needs for the 2015-16 school year, please confirm re-enrollment for your current K-2nd grade student(s) for the next school year by Monday, March 16; click here. Note: You will be prompted to submit a separate form for each child. For students currently in grades 8-11 re-enrollment confirmation is not necessary, as your student's course selection will serve that purpose.
Cash for Class

Turning Pointe School of Dance, a Christian Ministry announces the debut of, It Is Well, April 23rd-25th at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
It Is Well is an original ballet inspired by the true story of Grand Rapids resident Diet Eman who was imprisoned under Hitler for her efforts in hiding Jews in the Nazi-controlled Netherlands. Follow in Diet’s footsteps as she struggles with doubt, uncertainty and loss. Experience the beauty of God’s abiding love and grace as Diet finds joy in the midst of terrible suffering by looking to God through every circumstance. A story of faith and courage, this ballet will touch your heart and draw you closer to Christ through the beauty of music and dance.
