DISTRICT OVERVIEW

Holyoke Public Schools is a PreK-12 public school district serving nearly 5,100 students, of whom 80 percent are Latino/Latina, in 11 schools. We employ nearly 1,300 people who together educate and support a richly diverse community of learners. We are committed to recruiting and retaining top-quality educators who believe all children can and will learn and who strive daily to make school a joyful place of discovery, support, and belonging.

Holyoke Public Schools' strategic plan, "Moving Forward Together," builds on the strengths of our past while serving as a call to action to accelerate student learning by thinking differently about how we teach, how we work together, and how we support students' well being.

Our Equity Commitments are pledges we are making to address systemic equity challenges.
  • We intentionally build a community that is anti-racist, inclusive, and culturally responsive.
  • We ensure that students, families, and staff get the support they need to be successful.
  • We seek out and incorporate the voices of those impacted, with a commitment to include those who have been excluded in the past.
  • We promote access and inclusion for all students, staff, and families.
  • We respect, embrace, and honor the diversity of our students, families, staff, and community.
  • We reflect on our own behavior to minimize harm to others.
  • We create a culture of acceptance and empathy so that everyone feels valued and is able to contribute to our community's success.
