We agree–this is getting old. But we’d rather you all stay safe, so Holland Christian Schools will be closed again today, Tuesday, January 27, 2026 due to the weather. Please stay safe and warm, and know that we really can’t wait to see you all again tomorrow! HCHS and HCMS students should check their emails after 10am for assignments.

• The High School Music Department invites you to its annual band, orchestra and choir Christmas concert on Tuesday, December 16 in the Jack H. Miller Center for the Musical Arts, located on the campus of Hope College. We will be offering two performance times: 6:00 pm and 7:45 pm. General admission is free and no reservations are necessary. We look forward to sharing in the celebration of our Savior’s birth through our music!
• And you are also invited to the HCHS pre-solo & ensemble student recital on Wednesday, January 28 from 6-9:30 pm, held in the band and choir rooms at HCHS. You can stop in anytime and for however long you would like, and will get to experience HCHS’s talented instrumental soloists, duets, trios, and more in a lighthearted atmosphere!

This fall HCHS is producing the brand new musical, Pride & Prejudice. Based on the beloved novel by Jane Austen, this musical covers the adventures of the five Bennet daughters, especially clever and headstrong Elizabeth. In Regency England, where women are not allowed to own property or pursue a career, the only hope of a solid future lies in marrying well. So when charming, kind, and very wealthy Mr. Bingley moves to the Bennet’s small country village and falls in love with the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Elizabeth is delighted: Jane has a chance at true love, and Bingley’s wealth will make sure that her sister never lives in fear of poverty. But with the charming Mr. Bingley comes his friend Mr. Darcy, an arrogant, awkward snob who views everyone—including the Bennets—with disdain. As Bingley and Jane’s romance keeps pulling them into each other’s orbits, Elizabeth and Darcy find themselves sparring over their idea of love, freedom and happiness—and, to their horror and against their better judgement—beginning to fall in love with each other.

This musical was written in 2023, and we are officially the first production ever in the state of Michigan! We will have four shows: November 20, 21, and 22 @ 7pm, and November 22 @ 2pm. Tickets are $10. We hope to see you and the whole family there!
