The cast and crew of Annie hav... HOLLY, Michigan - For this year’s annual musical, the Holly High School choir has chosen to tackle the classic Broadway musical, Annie. Boasting a line-up of favorite American show tunes, this year’s choir will have more than enough quality material to put on another stellar show.
Made up of both high school and middle school students, the cast has been hard at work for five months, memorizing lines, learning choreography and dance numbers, and sharpening their vocal skills. “The actors have been at it since September,” Assistant Director and HHS Fine Arts teacher, Jo Grossman said. “Their determination to make this production the best it can possibly be is apparent.”

Michael Alexander (55) drives ... HOLLY, Michigan - Spurred by new Holly sixth man and the man replaced in the lineup, the Holly Bronchos used strong second and third quarters to the visiting Linden Eagles Friday night, 52-37.
Holly’s Michael Alexander usually starts and the first man of the bench on most nights has been freshman, Isaac Casillas. That was reversed in the Horseshoe with Casillas knocking down a quick eight points, including two three-pointers in the early going.
Not be out done, the sophomore Alexander was aggressive on both ends of floor, helping to keep Linden’s offense from finding any rhythm and leading the break while going the other way.
Casillas finished with 10 points, six on three-pointers. Alexander had five points and a whole lot of hustle.

HOLLY, Michigan – Taking advantage of a myriad of energy conservation opportunities is the reason why Holly Area Schools have managed to save a combined total of more than $423,000 over the course of three years in electrical and natural gas costs, Supervisor of Facilities and Operations, Denis Taylor said Monday.
Taylor summarized the districts’ savings in these areas for school board members during Monday’s HAS Board of Education meeting.
The idea of energy-saving methods was first explored in 2009 after Michigan School Business Officials first walked Taylor and other HAS staffers through the process.
“They came in and really helped us establish a committee,” Taylor said. Taylor said a secondary group, Energy Essentials, eventually stepped in, conducting an audit on the entire district’s maintenance systems. “Through the audit process, Energy Essentials pointed out our flaws – things we needed to work on and things like that,” Taylor said. “They continued to participate in five or six more committee meetings, making sure we were headed in the right direction.”
