Holland Supports Our Military!

Located less than five miles from Patrick Space Force Base, Holland Elementary School proudly serves a large number of families representing all branches of the United States Military.  Almost 40 percent of our student body are from military families.  With various events throughout the year such as Purple Up! Day, Month of the Military Child, and the Celebrate America! Program, Holland is honored to salute those who give so much to protect and serve our country.
