FEATURED EVENT: Career and College Pathways Summit
Nearly 80 people were in attendance at our Career and College Pathways Summit on Tuesday, Sept. 26, at the Walters Cultural Arts Center. Guests were updated about investments that have been made as a result of Measure 98 funding (CTE expansion, attendance and graduation support), planned expansions of our high school career pathway programs if the bond passes, and about the number of dual credit courses currently being offered to our students. They also heard from a panel of speakers that included business and higher education partners, alumni and current career-technical education teachers, about the future and importance of career-related learning opportunities in HSD for students and how others in the community can get involved.

Hillsboro Bond Would Renovate and Repair Aging Schools
|
|
UPCOMING EVENTS OCTOBER
|
|
One of the four main categories of need the Hillsboro Schools Bond would address is Renovation and Repair of Aging Schools. Just as it is important to do preventive maintenance on your house, it is important for HSD to maintain the investments taxpayers have already made in our buildings and systems. This bond would allow us to replace roofing, water pipes, boilers, and chillers; upgrade HVAC systems; add heat and air conditioning where needed; remodel Hilhi and Reedville; construct a satellite transportation/maintenance facility; construct lighted turf fields at three of our high schools; and more!
