Hillsboro High School
Title
Hillsboro High School
Description
Black and white image of a large group of high school students gathered on the steps of their school. Hillsboro High School, built in 1928, served as the high school until 1969, when it became J. B. Thomas Middle School. The oldest high school in the county, Hillsboro High School graduated its first class in 1911. In the 1936-1937 school year the Hillsboro School district had 1300 students, of which approximately half were of the right age to be in high school. One hundred of those were nineteen-year-olds, 53 boys and 39 girls. Museum records date this image and WCMpic_013046 both as being taken on January 28, 1936, though it is doubtful that both were taken on the same day.
