Hillsboro School District Weekly Hot News, May 13, 2024 - Ten Years of Career and College Pathways

Hillsboro School District Weekly Hot News Podcast

Ten years ago, HSD launched the Career and College Pathways project with a bold vision: to forge clear and viable educational paths for all students. Today, we proudly reflect on the growth and success of this initiative. Over the past decade, we have developed more than 60 CCPs, including 34 state-approved Career and Technical Education programs. This milestone underscores the relentless commitment and invaluable contributions of our partners across various career sectors.

At our spring CCP Steering Committee meeting on April 16th, we brought staff leaders together with partners from local industry, postsecondary institutions, and community organizations to celebrate our achievements and discuss ways we can further enhance our offerings. Attendees had the opportunity to go on bus tours of our schools, visit CCP classrooms, and interact directly with the teachers and students who are driving our programs forward.

We also celebrated increasing student participation in our CCPs, the expansion of work-based learning opportunities, and the growing number of students earning college credits while in high school. These achievements not only demonstrate our students’ preparedness for postsecondary challenges, but also affirm the core values of our educational mission.

Our featured event was our 9th Annual Proud to be HSD Festival on Saturday, May 11th! This year’s Festival was a smashing success - the weather was beautiful and spirits were high as we celebrated our amazing HSD students. We were thrilled to go back to a full Market footprint this year so we could include even more booths and performance areas to showcase our HSD pride. The event featured a 5K Fun Run, various school mascots, special guests like Barley from the Hillsboro Hops, chalk art, high school Career and College Pathways displays, our popular STEAM Pavilion, performances by middle and high school bands and choirs, Ballet Folklorico dances, a Battle of the Bands stage, and much more!
