Annual Education Report
Our Annual Education Report for the 2021-2022 school year can be found on our website. If you desire a hard copy, they are available in the office. We are so proud of our academic performance last year. Dare to be remarkable!
Snow Day Reminder
Many factors go into the decision to close school, but the most important is to keep our children safe. We are always cognizant of the fact that the earlier you know of a closure, the more time you have to plan. Once the decision has been made to close you can find closure information on the HA website, Facebook, and channel 12.
Hopefully, the weather will cooperate for the next few months! Power of the Pack!


It is February already and I am crossing my fingers for warm weather. We have lots of things going on at Holly Academy and here are some of the details:

8th grade parents and students thank you for attending our Transition to High School night last week. If you are in need of more information about a local high school both Grand Blanc and Fenton have asked me to post the following information:
Grand Blanc:
The Counseling Department at GBHS is happy to announce that we are bringing back the first in-person post-COVID Curriculum Fair! It will be held on Wednesday, February 22nd from 6:30-8:00 in the cafeteria. We will have a presentation for incoming 9th graders and their parents from 6:00-6:30 and then all students and parents in grades 8-11 will be invited in. Tables will be set up in the cafeteria and students and parents will be able to visit and speak with department chairs, elective teachers, and student club leaders. Counselors will be running break-out sessions throughout the evening on such topics as dual enrollment, GCI, NCAA, AP classes, and a general high school Q and A.
