History
In 1929 Hillsboro’s first high school was completed, with additional buildings and the wings added in later years .Philpott, Betty. Hillsboro school began in one-room log cabin in 1854. ''Hillsboro Argus'', October 19, 1976 Located near downtown, the site was a turned into a junior high once the current campus was built beginning in 1969. In 1970 the new senior high school campus opened on 48 acres on the south side of Hillsboro, with enrollment of the high school district reaching 3,621 students that year. Students complained that the new layout that consisted of classrooms spread out over the campus instead of a single central building, was a poor choice for Oregon’s rainy and cold winters.
In 2003 the school, along with all schools in the district, made national news when 17 days of classes were cut from the school year which allowed students to be out in May due to budget cuts to education in Oregon.[2] Teacher Don Domes won the Software Association of Oregon Foundation's Oregon Technology Educator of Year in 2004.[3] In 2006-07 school year, the school participated in the MIT-Lemelson InvenTeam program, receiving a $10,000 grant for a team of students to invent a self-installable Heads Up Display for automotive use.[4]
