Here at HOLLA School…
Our mission is to change the academic narratives of Black, Brown, and Indigenous youth!
We Believe
We believe there is Abundance, Brilliance and Creativity in every child.
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.

HOLLA School's Vision centers culturally responsive pedagogy, practices, and policies, specifically:
Reflecting on one’s cultural lens
Recognizing and redressing bias in the school system
Drawing on students’ cultures 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 recognize that it is our responsibility to create the conditions for their brilliance to shine.
We believe in the transformative impact of mentorship; the strength of connectedness to foster racial and cultural identity development, social-emotional well-being, collective problem-solving, and the liberation of mind, body, and spirit.
We believe in implementing a comprehensive and challenging curriculum, deeply rooted in both historical and contemporary socio-political lived experiences.
We are committed to applying critical, anti-racist lenses to our pedagogy, policies, and practices.
We believe in the intentional development of identity, skills, intellect, criticality, and joy, as advocated by Dr. Gholdy Muhammad.
We believe in centering love and compassion in every aspect of schooling.
