Holt High School is a public high school serving grades 9–11 in Holt, Michigan, United States. It is one of two high schools in the Holt-Dimondale Public Schools district.
A modern two story building on a 40-acre (160,000 m2) Main Campus houses grades 9 through 11, with Michael P. Willard serving as the school's principal. In the fall of 2014 the separate 9th grade building was converted to a 12th grade senior and college advancement building named the North Campus. During the senior year, students are provided the opportunity to identify, explore and start to focus on their post-secondary life. The benefit of a single grade senior building provides each individual senior's interest to be developed with the provision of additional opportunities such as in-house Lansing Community College college classes providing free college credit as well as capstone classes. The high school Main Campus includes 11 Computer Labs, an Internet/research center, computers with Internet access in each classroom, building wide broadcasting capabilities, a performing arts complex with an 850-seat theater and comprehensive on-grounds athletic facilities. Outside the school are a large football stadium, baseball field and a cross country course that are used often in sporting events throughout the year. The building is the largest one in the Holt School District. The Board of Education and Administrative offices reside directly across the street from the Main Campus in a separate wing of the North Campus.
The center commons area doubles as the cafeteria during two lunch periods and has four food courts serving up to 800 lunches per period.
The Margaret Livensparger Theater is used to host many activities in the school such as talent shows, musicals, plays, and outside professional groups. Its two-level seating is accessible on the second story on either side of the foyer. Decorated in rich gold and burgundy tones, the theater's main floor has 650 seats arranged so all spectators have a great view of the stage. Extra seating is upstairs in the balcony. Total seating capacity is 850.
The school library is named in memory of a former student, "John C. Chi", who died shortly after graduation in 1975, but was noted for both academic and athletic achievements. The library is equipped with thousands of books and a fleet of computers available in conjunction with those in the Library Computer Lab.
The "H Town" School Store is located adjacent to the commons area and is operated entirely by students enrolled in the Retail Management business course. Students learn the different aspects of managing and organizing a business, from human resources, merchandising, promotion, selling, operations, and finance. The store stocks school spirt clothing as well as snacks.
