Holland High School is a Division 1 public high school in Holland, Michigan. The schools colors are red and white. The athletic nickname is "The Dutch".
Campus
The current facility was opened in 1962 on Van Raalte Avenue at a 10-12 facility. The campus consisted of seven buildings: East Unit, West Unit, Arts Center, Library and Administration, Fieldhouse, Industrial Arts and Performing Arts Center. The campus was previously at 96 W 15th st. Because the buildings were not connected, students went outside during class changes.
Renovations in 1990 and 1991 connected all buildings except the Performing Arts Center and also added a building for Math and Science. In addition, new offices, an auxiliary gym and a cafeteria were constructed. The ninth grade moved to Holland High in the fall of 1992 from Holland Junior High.
Holland High was under major reconstruction from 2012 to 2014 and all wings except for the gyms and the Performing Arts Center were completely rebuilt on their original footprints. The building has housed grades 8 - 12 since 2009. There are two amphitheaters in the school.
Band
The Holland High Marching Band is known for performing in wooden shoes during parades. The band's trademark song is "Tip Toe Through the Tulips", which it performs ever year during Holland's annual Tulip Time festival.
