Where could a Hillsboro education take you? 💙🖤

The journey to some pretty incredible places can start right here in a Hillsboro Elementary classroom.

Former Hillsboro classmates Henry Politte and Isaac Readnour are now classmates again! This time as Ph.D. candidates at Saint Louis University, pursuing advanced work in chemistry and medicine.

For our Elementary students, their story is a great reminder to dream big. The education they are receiving today can help take them places they want to go and places they haven't even imagined yet.

🎥 Watch Henry and Isaac’s story.

We had a special visit from ventriloquist Doug Mickan for a fun and entertaining character building assembly! Our students enjoyed lots of laughs while learning important lessons about kindness, honesty, working hard, never giving up, and making good choices.
