Our School
Michael R. Hollis Innovation Academy is a PK-8 STEM School.
Hollis opened on August 3, 2016 to students of the Vine City/English Avenue Community, initially servicing PK-5 students, and added a grade level each year until the school reached 8th grade in 2019.
Hollis was formed in 2016 following the closing of Bethune Elementary School, which at the time, was one of the lowest performing schools in the district. Students began the 2016-2017 school year in the former Kennedy Middle School building, now known as Michael R. Hollis Innovation Academy.
