In the Hillsboro School District, we are committed to all students graduating career and college ready. Not only is it the district’s mission, it’s our passion and commitment to students and the broader community. Our school counselors and career and technical education teachers play an integral role in the achievement of this mission each and every day.
February 6 through 10 is National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA). The theme this year is “School Counselors: Helping Students Dream Big.” The purpose is to highlight the unique contribution of school counselors within our school buildings, and the tremendous impact counselors have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. Please join us in celebrating the nearly 90 HSD school counselors, school-to-career specialists, support and wellness counselors, care coordinators, Youth Contact counselors, and their district supporters during National School Counseling Week!
February is also National Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month, sponsored by the Association for Career and Technical Education. It is a public awareness campaign that takes place each February to celebrate the value of CTE and the achievements and accomplishments of CTE programs and educators across the country. We have much to celebrate in our Hillsboro community, as we continue to expand and grow our CTE opportunities for our students. The vision and passion of our CTE staff is the reason why the Hillsboro School District is recognized across our state for excellence in the area of Career and College Pathways!
