It’s time for our annual Proud to be HSD Festival and you don’t want to miss it! This showcase of student achievement and talent takes place during the Farmers Market in downtown Hillsboro from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 13th. 
 
Here are some highlights:

Performance Stage on the Washington County Courthouse Lawn - See performances from our middle and high school bands and choirs.
STEAM Pavilion on the Civic Center Plaza - Student groups from several schools will demonstrate their innovative science, technology, engineering, art, and math projects - many of which have interactive elements. 
Career and College Pathways Area on the Civic Center Plaza - High school students in various career pathways will share what they are learning in the hands-on classes that prepare them for life after graduation. 
School Mascots - Watch for your favorite school mascot walking through the festival and handing out balloons to children. Give them a wave, take a picture, and maybe even start a little dance-off!
5K Fun Run - For the second year, we will be including a free 5K Fun Run to kick off the day. Anyone who is interested in participating should meet in the Lincoln Street Elementary School Parking lot by 8:15 a.m. to sign in and get ready for the run/walk to begin at 8:30 a.m.
