Pontiac-William Holliday School District 105

Mrs. Church's class read the Love Monster book and each student created original love monsters. Mrs. Church used AI to create digital replicas for each one. So cute!

Our schools are an important part of daily life for our students and staff. The district has state-identified Health/Life Safety violations that must be corrected by law, and addressing these required items is one reason a bond referendum will appear on the March 17, 2026, ballot.

Our schools have proudly served generations of students and families in our community. After decades of daily use, key building infrastructure, including electrical, plumbing, ventilation, and roofing, now requires major repair or replacement to continue providing safe spaces where students can learn and grow. 🏫

The bond referendum outlines a plan to address these needs and strengthen the district through a new pre-kindergarten through 8th-grade building designed to keep students safe and provide effective learning spaces for all students now and into the future.

Have questions about the proposed school bond?

Attend a community Open House on February 18 or March 2, 2026, from 6:30–8:30 p.m., in the William Holliday Dome.

Learn about what the bond proposal would fix, which includes facility maintenance, infrastructure improvements, and long-range planning for district needs.

District leaders, architects, and financial experts will be on hand to provide information and answer questions.

Both sessions will offer the same information. All community members are welcome.

Each time Mrs. Clark's class gets a compliment from another adult, they earn a handful of pompoms. When they fill the jar, they vote on a reward. Chick Fil A was a very special one!

William Holliday Elementary opened in 1959, and Pontiac Junior High opened in 1976. These buildings were constructed decades ago and no longer meet today’s safety expectations, accessibility requirements, or educational needs.

The bond referendum would allow the district to address these needs in a cost and time-efficient manner, complete state-mandated repairs, and create a learning environment where all students can succeed. 🏫

The St. Louis Dairy Council visited first grade on Thursday to discuss local farmers and each cow the classes adopted. Students learned about dairy farm tools, what the cows eat and how they are cared for. All three classes chose a cow to adopt at the beginning of the school year.
