Hillsboro School District Weekly Hot News November 17, 2025 - American Education Week

November 17 through 21 is American Education Week! This is a time where we highlight and celebrate the critical role all HSD staff members play in providing an educational experience in which every student is known, valued, and empowered to achieve their dreams!To truly capture the spirit of gratitude for our educators, we asked students and families to send shout-outs for their staff heroes. Here are just a few of their comments:Felix at Witch Hazel Elementary said this about all of his teachers: “They are fun and nice and teach me. They went to college and they are old, and I respect old people.”Joey at Evergreen Middle talked about Mr. Fragosi: “He’s helpful, nice, funny, and he’s responsible, respectful, and helps me learn.”Ruth from Liberty shares this about her bus driver Greg: “I believe he deserves special recognition because of his genuine kindness, the friendly ‘good morning’ every day, and making sure I get to school all the time.” To see a list of all submissions, please visit our website. If you didn’t have a chance to publicly recognize your favorite staff member, please take a moment to thank them in person or write them a note - those little things make a big difference. Thank you so much to all of our amazing educators! You make us Proud to be HSD!
