First PLACE! , an exciting community-wide initiative, is a partnership among The Keeter Center for Character Education at College of the Ozarks®, Characterplus®, and the public schools in Taney County to foster a community where character is highly valued and intentionally taught.  Hollister High School is developing programs to integrate First PLACE! into daily life at HHS.  The goal is to improve school climate and positively impact student achievement, attendance, discipline, and the drop out rate.

Student Life
With any successful school, there is a balance between the academic and the extra curricular.  Hollister High School is not an exception.
