This school has a lot to offer students who need to be challenged and students with special needs.. As a mom of a special needs child, this school has met his challenges, listened to my opinion and is striving to help my son be a success.. Hollenbeck is a wonderful school for all..

This school was my home last month before i moved. The math program was great I was in 8th grade geometry and the teachers helped us students get as far as we needed to. Mr.beeson is a great teacher and is a great yearbook staff leader. That school made my life so much easier. The school has fun days for assembiles and concerts. The dances are okay from when I was there. The principal Mr. Borgshulte had some problems with students rebelling about the dances being in the day.

Hollenbeck is awsome. As a former student, i enjoyed my three years at hollenbeck, as much as it is possible to enjoy school. This school has a great staff that is always eager to help you do well. All three yars they prepair you for the next grade that you will enter wich gives you a better look at what the next grade has to offer. Mrs.Bicket one of my favorite teachers helped me get into trebble choir at howell north which is hard to get into. It is a great middle school, and if you are looking for a school for your student i would highly recomend enrolling him/her in this school, or any other school in this district. After all this district hires amazing, and entergetic teachers. I miss hollenbeck, but i love the school im at. I know that i am just a freshman, but i love the-district.
