Hillsboro School District Weekly Hot News, May 29, 2023 - Vals, Sals, and Retirees

On Thursday, May 25th we had the privilege of gathering and celebrating HSD’s ninety-two Class of 2023 Valedictorians and Salutatorians at a luncheon event at Hidden Creek Community Center. Superintendent Mike Scott, Mayor Steve Callaway, Chamber President Deanna Palm, Hillsboro Schools Foundation Executive Director Aron Carleson, and School Board Chair Mark Watson were all on hand to congratulate our highest achievers and wish them well on their journey beyond high school.  Students’ plans include attending colleges and universities in Oregon, across the U.S., and even abroad. Regardless of their next steps, they have all learned some valuable lessons along the way and took a moment to share their words of wisdom for incoming 9th graders. Check them out on our website. Way to go, Vals & Sals! You make us Proud to be HSD!  Our bond update is a recap of the CTE Sustainability Facilities open house at Liberty High School on Thursday, May 25th. The community had an opportunity to tour the school’s sustainable agriculture/design building and solar array canopy, constructed via the 2017 Hillsboro School District Bond, and view the seniors’ project presentations.  On Wednesday, May 24th we were pleased to honor fifty retiring staff members at the District Retirement Celebration, held at South Meadows Middle School. Collectively, our retirees have dedicated hundreds and hundreds of years to HSD students and we couldn’t be more grateful for their service.
