HOLLA School’s mission is to change the academic narratives of Black, Brown and Indigenous youth.

HOLLA School is a public charter school sponsored by Reynolds School District. We are a tuition-free school of choice for K-4th grade students beginning in 2024-2025.

We believe there is Abundance, Brilliance and Creativity in every child.

  • Recognizing and redressing bias in the school system

  • Drawing on students’ culture to shape curriculum and instruction

  • Bringing real-world issues into the classroom

  • Modeling high expectations

  • Promoting respect for student differences

  • Collaborating with families and the local community

  • Communicating in linguistically and culturally responsive ways

Our Beliefs:

We believe that ALL youth are Abundant, Brilliant and Creative.

  • We believe in the power, potential and worthiness of Black, Brown and Indigenous youth and that it is our work to create the conditions for their brilliance to shine.

  • We believe in the positive impact of mentorship; in the ability of connectedness to cultivate racial and cultural identity development, social emotional well being, collective problem solving and liberation of mind, body and spirit.

  • We believe in implementing a comprehensive and challenging curriculum rooted in historical and current day socio-political lived experiences.

  • We believe it is our work to apply critical, anti-racist lenses to our pedagogy, policies and practices.

  • We believe in intentionally developing identity, skills, intellect, criticality and joy (Dr. Gholdy Muhammad).

  • We believe in centering love and compassion in all aspects of schooling.
