Our Hillsboro High School Student Council is proud to raise funds to purchase DAV Field of Flags in honor of our local veterans! 🦅🇺🇸

Through DAV’s Field of Flags, communities display American flags to recognize the brave men and women who have served our country. Each flag represents one veteran and serves as a powerful reminder of our gratitude for their sacrifice, courage, and commitment to protecting our freedoms.

🇺🇸 The impact goes beyond the flags! Funds raised through this initiative help DAV provide life-changing services and support to ill and injured veterans and their families.

❤️🤍💙 The flags purchased by our Student Council will be proudly displayed in front of Hillsboro High School, creating a meaningful tribute to the veterans who have given so much for our nation.

We are incredibly proud of our students for finding ways to serve others and honor those who have served us. Their efforts remind us that patriotism is more than a symbol—it's a commitment to caring for the people who have sacrificed for our freedom.

Thank you to our veterans. We honor you, we appreciate you, and we will never forget your service! 🇺🇸

HHS Student Council is taking on a BIG goal, and we need our Eagle family to help make it happen! ❤️💛

We are working to fill 20 crates with food for HIM Ministries Food Pantry right here in Hillsboro to help support local families and neighbors in need.

📦 6 CRATES HAVE ALREADY BEEN CLAIMED! And we're just getting started! If we need more crates, we'll get them. The more we fill, the greater the impact we can make in our community!

🤝 Every donation matters. Whether you contribute one item or help fill an entire crate, you're making a difference for someone right here at home.

🍦 AND THERE'S A LITTLE FRIENDLY COMPETITION! The 3rd-period class that fills the most crates will win an ICE CREAM PARTY! 🎉

Let's show Hillsboro what it means to be part of a caring campus. Our community takes care of our own, and together, we can make a BIG difference!

🥫 Let's scoop up some kindness and fill those crates, Eagles!

Mark your calendars and get ready for a night of great food, exciting prizes, and BIG support for our Hillsboro FFA students! 🦅💛❤️

Things are getting a little more interesting in Ms. Ondrej’s Human Growth and Development class! This week, students are stepping into the role of parents as they learn firsthand about the developmental needs of infants and the many responsibilities and challenges that come with raising a child.

These students have one BIG responsibility: keeping their babies safe for the entire week! That means their little ones go everywhere they go—even to class! And just like real parenting, they can't do it all alone. Babysitters must sign off when they step in to help.

Even Mr. Cody has stepped up to lend a helping hand! 😂👏 We love seeing our HHS staff getting involved in the learning experience!

The first round of student parents took their babies home Monday, and next week the rest of the class will get their turn at parenthood!

Beyond the laughs and adorable baby passengers, this hands-on activity gives students a better understanding of infant care, responsibility, time management, and the everyday challenges that come with parenting.

We wish our new HHS parents the best of luck this week! Get some rest while you can! 😉❤️
