Holmen High School is a high school located in Holmen, Wisconsin, which is part of the Holmen School District. As of 2006, 1025 students were enrolled at Holmen High School. It was opened in 1994 and the building was expanded in 2000 at a cost of $4.1 million.

Holmen High School is a Division 2 sports school and a North Central Association Renaissance School.

The school annually hosts a competition of high school show choirs, which sing and dance in costume. In March 2007, a total of 17 show choirs participated. The all-day events begin early in the morning and last into the evening, with competitions in three divisions — open, prep and single gender. The six top-scoring groups compete in the evening finals. Solo and duet competitions are also held.[3] The events are covered in area newspapers.[4]

Athletics

The school's sports teams have won five Wisconsin state titles: Summer Baseball, 1990; Girls’ Basketball 1995; Softball 1999; and Gymnastics in both 2005 and 2006.[5] The gymnastics team came in third at the state championships, falling short in their attempt to win a third consecutive Division 2 title.[6]

Powerlifter Sarah Lang finished third at the 2007 state championships, setting school records with a deadlift of 330 pounds, squat of 300 pounds and a total-combined lift of 760 pounds. Lang's finish marked Holmen's seventh consecutive year with at least one top-three finisher at the championships.[7]
