Mount Holly Middle School is a neighborhood school where students connect with the community and develop skills for the future. They can join clubs, enrichment clusters, and athletics. Advanced learners benefit from our AIG program and can earn high school credit in subjects like Math and World History.

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
