Sophomore: HC is a place that embraces various styles of learning tutored to fit each and every student that walks through the doors. I transferred here in 7th grade, and I came into it really nervous and worried that I wasn't going to be welcomed. But what happened was quite the opposite. On the first day I was immediately greeted by a group of people who genuinely wanted to make my transition easy and comfortable. I could tell right away that it was a place where my peers would make it easy to feel like part of a family. It was easy to see that it was a great learning environment where most everyone was willing to help. You can tell the teachers really are passionate about the subjects they teach, and they care deeply about pushing their students to strive to achieve the highest accomplishments. While the school could be more diverse, they are always actively searching for more ways to invite culture and community into the Holland Christian family!

Senior: Saugatuck High School is very small, but it allows students and teachers to grow closer, and give each high schooler a more personalized experience. Although it may seem that not many AP classes are offered, more and more are being added each year. Overall, it is a very nice building and the teachers are very good at engaging their classes. The school is very safe, with friendly officers always on duty at and around the building. Sometimes, it can seem like the school is too small, and there is almost no diversity, which would be great for the school.

Senior: Plainwell High School provided me with challenging academic courses, an opportunity to receive an Honors Diploma, numerous advanced placement classes and a variety of sports and clubs. The teachers are top notch; they will work with you before or after school if needed and they have always given the students clear expectations for the class you are taking. Although Plainwell High School is not diverse with ethnicity, it is with the various clubs and activities that are available to students. Plainwell High School is a very safe school with no incidents during my time here. The culture is positive, students here take pride in their school. The administration is approachable and have an answer to any question one might have. The parents are present at every event; whether working or cheering on a team. I am 100% prepared for college, giving credit to Plainwell High School!

There is also a very strong sense of community in this area, not only within this school district, but within the surrounding school districts. Everyone comes together in hard times and is always willing to help someone out.

Senior: Otsego High School is a rapidly changing environment for students to learn. Technology is always updating, and Otsego is keeping up with the pace. Every student has their own personal chromebook, and all the students have access to the Media Center. Which houses anything you could need for a project, including a 3D printer!

Alum: The educators at Hopkins High School prepare students very well for college. They are knowledgeable, passionate, caring, and driven. However, the school is not very diverse, and it causes discourse among the students and the few minorities at the school. Athletics, excluding the varsity basketball and football teams, are relatively self supporting with the athletes participating in pre-season fundraisers to collect money for jerseys and other equipment.
