Hillsboro School District Weekly Hot News March 10, 2025 - Celebrating Women’s History Month

March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize the many contributions that women have made to the fabric of American History.  Women’s History Month was first celebrated in 1981 as Women’s History Week but became a month-long observance in 1987. We celebrate to remind ourselves of the accomplishments of women and to reflect on the trailblazing women who led the way for change. Studying the tenacity, courage, and creativity of historic women provides a sense of strength, value, and identifiable role models for all of our students.  This March, we encourage you and your family to plan activities throughout the month that promote learning about unique women who have made tremendous impacts on our history. We also encourage you to learn more about women’s history, accomplishments, and experiences;  commemorate women’s stories; and celebrate women’s achievements.
