Holly Hills Elementary School

Holly Hills emphasizes research-based instructional best practices and the use of technology to drive high academic achievement and personal growth, with a strong focus on both rigor and relationships. Staff are expected to engage students in rigorous, meaningful learning connected to students’ interests and aspirations, supported by collaborative teacher teams that plan differentiated, targeted instruction. The school frames this work within a professional learning community model and strong school–home partnerships.

Holly Hills Elementary (Cherry Creek School District) enrolls students through the district’s online PowerSchool Enrollment system: create a Family Enrollment Account, submit an enrollment request, and upload proof of age, a complete immunization record, proof of residency, and a government-issued photo ID for the parent/guardian. CCSD states that enrollment for new PreK–12 students for the upcoming school year opens on the first Monday in February (and neighborhood-school enrollment for families new to the district is always open). If you want a school outside your neighborhood boundary (including Holly Hills if you are out of boundary), you apply through CCSD School Choice (open enrollment), with applications accepted December 1 through May 31 for placement the following school year. For the 2026–2027 School Choice cycle, the priority lottery round occurred on February 27, 2026 (covering applications submitted through January 31, 2026), and applications submitted February 1–May 31 are added to the waitlist unless seats are available; there is no appeal, and waitlists remain active only for that requested school year. School Choice priority categories are: (1) siblings already approved for the requested school for the next year, (2) children of qualified CCSD employees (with additional consideration described for certain employee grandchildren), (3) students currently attending the requested school who meet continuing enrollment criteria, (4) district residents, and (5) non-residents.
