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.

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.
