CLASS OF 2019

Senior News

 

SENIOR ACT – OCTOBER 2

The Senior ACT will be offered for free at Hillsboro on Tuesday, October 2. The Senior ACT is optional for any current senior who has already taken the official ACT, and it is required for any senior who has not taken the ACT at least once. Taking the ACT or SAT at least once is a graduation requirement in the state of Tennessee; those who do not take one of these tests at least once will not graduate. You can sign up for the October 2 ACT in your Academy Office.

 

COLLEGE VISITS AT HHS

 

Remember to check the School Counselors’ Website (hhscounseling.com) each week to see which colleges and universities will be visiting HHS. Your student can sign up for a time to visit with a college while they are on the HHS campus.  Click College Visits at Hillsboro to register for a time slot!

GRADUATION REGALIA

There have been unsubstantiated rumors going around regarding what graduates will be allowed and not allowed to wear at graduation in regards to stoles and cords. Listed below are the current graduation regalia guidelines regarding stoles and cords from MNPS:

  • Stoles should be worn for IB, Cambridge, and National Honor Society
  • Cords should be worn for honors based on individual school needs as long as identified in the program
  • Each school must have a program with a legend to identify student regalia (cords, stoles, etc.)

 

FAFSA WORKSHOP NIGHT

 

FAFSA Night will be October 25th from 5:30-7:30pm in the HHS library. There will be a financial aid/scholarship mini-lesson from 5:30-6PM followed by the FAFSA workshop, where everyone can get help completing their FAFSA. The workshop will run from 6-7:30PM. A TSAC representative will be present. Seniors are encouraged to attend with their parent/guardian. Students are eligible to fill out the FAFSA if they (the student) are a US citizen, legal permanent resident, or other eligible non-citizen with I-94 approved paperwork (such as a refugee or asylee).
