We ask that everyone attending the graduation events arrive on time; be prepared to follow all staff instructions, physical barriers, and informational and directional signage; and depart promptly afterward. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to ensure the events are as fun and safe as possible for all involved.
If you are unable to attend the graduation ceremonies in person, you are invited to watch them online! The ceremonies for our four comprehensive high schools will be live streamed on our YouTube channel (accessible from the Graduation page of our website). Recordings of all graduation ceremonies, including those for Hillsboro Online Academy and Oak Street Campus, will be posted to the Graduation page of our website the week of June 12.

Healthy Kids Wellness Celebrations | |
Over the span of two days - Thursday, Jun. 1 and Tuesday, Jun. 6 - nearly 1,000 students from 18 of our elementary schools participated in Healthy Kids Wellness Celebrations at Hare Field and Liberty High School. The celebrations culminate a year of elementary after-school athletic and activity programs made possible by a generous donation from the VP Legacy Foundation. The Foundation’s philosophy is that by providing opportunities for students to participate in extracurricular sports and activities at a young age, you not only teach them healthy habits and teamwork skills, but you create the conditions to keep them engaged in their education. The Wellness Celebrations included track and field events, as well as other health-based activities and games. Many thanks to Director of Extracurricular Services Rian Petrick and to our various sponsors and partners for making these events a huge success. See coverage from KPTV FOX 12 Oregon here. | |
