FEATURED STUDENTS: HSD 2019 Valedictorians and Salutatorians
Congratulations are in order for the 54 students from our four comprehensive high schools and Hillsboro Online Academy who earned the title of Valedictorian or Salutatorian! On Friday, May 24, we brought these top-achieving students together for the District's annual Val/Sal Luncheon. They were joined by Superintendent Mike Scott, Mayor Steve Callaway, Hillsboro Chamber President Deanna Palm, and two School Board members at the event, where they had the opportunity to share their post-graduation plans and favorite memories from high school. They also shared their words of wisdom for incoming freshmen. Great job and best wishes to you all! Visit the Graduation page of our website to see more pictures.
