Congratulations to the Girls' Varsity Field Hockey on their 3rd Sectional Title in 3 years!
The North America Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF) has selected 25 educators as “scholastic fellows” to significantly expand its classroom and out of school/afterschool education program. In just one year, NASEF has transformed education for countless youth by interweaving STEM learning with the world of team-based competitive video gaming, known as esports.
Scholastic fellows were chosen through a competitive process that brought in applicants from across North America. They range in backgrounds but share a common vision of leveraging esports to draw real interest from their students. NASEF participants engage in a broad array of esports activities, from tournaments to managing a variety of business aspects of their clubs, gaining meaningful education in STEM and English Language Arts, all the while benefitting from positive social emotional learning and guidance.
NASEF’s new fellows program will provide scholastic-based tools, resources and instructional coaching for educators in middle and high schools and community-based organizations.
Congratulations to HP's esports coach Mrs. Margaret McNamara for her acceptance into this exciting program. Read more here: https://www.esportsfed.org/news/press-room/nasef-scholastic-fellows-program/

Thank you to these teachers who were recognized at a recent school board meeting (from left to right): Russell Stevener, Tom DellaPosta, Angela Alcaraz, Tony Donatelli, Mike Arcuri, Margaret McGuire (student board member).

The Holland Patent Central School District is proud to provide students with a Pre-K through 12th grade music program which features classroom music, 12 performing ensembles, chamber groups, a Suzuki Violin program, AP Music Theory, and a Tri-M Music Honor Society chapter.

The music department showcases the hard work of district music students in over 15 school-sponsored concerts per school year.
The Best Communities for Music Education Award recognizes that the Holland Patent Central School District is leading the way with learning opportunities for music students in the community. The music department appreciates the continued support from the administration, faculty, staff, and community to further the continued growth of music making in Holland Patent.
Though we’re but a country high school,
Our name unknown to fame
To our colors we are loyal,
Our heritage we claim;
We defend the gold and purple,
Wherever we may be,
Our hearts forever faithful
To the old school in H.P.
The purple hue is royal,
The gold is pure and fine,
And both are king’s apparel
Ordained by word divine,
Therefore, royal are our colors,
To them we true must be,
To show we love and honor
The old school in H.P.
