Holland Christian High School is a private, Calvinist high school in the city of Holland, Michigan. Holland Christian's colors are maroon and white, and their nickname is "The Maroons". Holland Christian High School is the only grade 9–12 building in the Holland Christian Schools system.

History

By 1963 the school had 264 students in the tenth grade, 289 in the 12th grade, and other grades ranging 173-200 students. Prior to 1965 Zeeland Christian School only had up to junior high school and referred high school students to Holland Christian High. The Zeeland Christian School high school was scheduled to open in 1965 but never happened.

Campus

In 1963 the library used blond wood furniture and included decorations.
