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. The Hillsboro School district had 1300 students registered during the 1936-1937 school year, 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_013047 both as being taken on January 28, 1936, though it is doubtful that both were taken on the same day.
