Holly Hall School is a foundation comprehensive secondary school located in Dudley, West Midlands, England. It is situated in Stourbridge Road on the edge of the Russells Hall Estate, and was opened in 1968 to replace a smaller building several hundred yards along the road towards Brierley Hill.

Holly Hall School is now independent from Dudley MBC and is grant maintained. The school received Mathematics and Computing College specialist status in September 2002. In the past four years, the school has constructed a £3 million building and had a major refurbishment.

In 2006, 39% of pupils achieved 5 or more A* to C grades in their GCSE examinations. It has an approximate pupil attendance of 685, making it one of the smaller secondary schools a borough where many schools have in excess of 1,000 pupils on the roll.

In December 2007, plans were unveiled by Dudley council for the school to be rebuilt and change to Academy status, which would make it the first school of its kind in the borough. Similar schools already exist in nearby boroughs Walsall and Sandwell. The school may also take in some pupils from Pensnett High School, which is set to close in the early 2010s with most pupils being transferred to The Crestwood School at Kingswinford. However, these plans were scrapped by the local council in March 2008 as the school was deemed "too successful" for academy status.Fact|date=March 2008
