The biggest problem in HHS is the lack of diversity. I am one of a handful of African Americans at the school. Our sports facilities our falling apart but we have good coaches and a history of winning. We have use the same blocked schedule that colleges use and alumni have said this has helped prepare them for college. Our history and science teachers are all great and teach fun and engaging classes. The clubs are student run and can offer great experiences. Unfortunately the administration is very strict and has a history of targeting certain groups of students. But as a whole HHS is filled with kind and hard working students. People who move here usually find friends easily. This year due to COVID-19, the school only serves cold lunches, but previously, during my junior year the food was good and there were a lot of options.
Holliston High is a great place to grow up and learn. I've had some amazing teachers and some not so amazing teachers. It is clear what teachers don't care about what their teaching or the students they teach but it is even more clear what teachers DO care .. and there are alot. The schools small size creates a a great, nurturing and individualizing environment. There is definitely a lot of love for community in this school but one issue Holliston has is its lack of diversity. Very white, very privileged children. I would say that for the most part everyone is very tolerant towards others and others' beliefs, however there is lack of heterogeneity of race or beliefs and values (political, religious, etc).
Holliston has a great public schooling system, that is comprehensive and fair to students while preparing them well for the future!
