What a great morning of Eagle service and teamwork! 🙌
The Hillsboro FFA teamed up with our Hillsboro FCCLA this morning to help pick up trash along the highway, and we had an AMAZING turnout! 👏🧹
We are so proud of these students for giving their time, working together, and helping keep our community clean and beautiful. 🌟
That’s what Eagle Pride is all about—serving, leading, and making a difference! 🦅💪
Thank you, FFA and FCCLA, for representing Hillsboro High School so well!

🦔💛 A VERY SPECIAL VISITOR AT HHS! 💛🦔
Ms. Kolar’s Small Animal Science class had a very special—and ADORABLE—visitor stop by! 🥰
Meet Trinity, a three-banded armadillo from Cameron Park Zoo! 🦔✨ Trinity definitely caused quite a stir with her cuteness, but she also gave our students an amazing opportunity to learn all about armadillos, their unique characteristics, and their care.
Hands-on learning experiences like this make the classroom come alive! 📚🐾 We are so thankful to the Cameron Park Zoo for bringing Trinity to HHS and helping enrich our students’ learning.
A BIG shoutout to the zoo for partnering with us and giving our students a memorable experience! 🦅💛
