History

By 1963 the school had 264 students in the tenth grade, 289 in the 12th grade, and other grades ranging 173-200 students. Prior to 1965 Zeeland Christian School only had up to junior high school and referred high school students to Holland Christian High. The Zeeland Christian School high school was scheduled to open in 1965 but never happened.[4]

Campus

In 1963 the library used blond wood furniture and included decorations.[5]

Athletics

The school uses Holland Civic Center for its basketball matches. The Holland Evening Sentinel, in 1963, stated that the school's athletic facilities were inadequate.[6]


The men's varsity soccer team, coached by Dave DeBoer, won the 2022 division three Michigan state championship. Holland Christian won two other soccer state championships in 1986 and 2003.
