Iconic Hillsboro Clock Featured on NPR (4/2/2019)Saturday, April 13, marks the return of the PTSO Yard Sale–and this time, it really is a yard sale. But that’s not the only thing that’s different. Click here to find out about all the other activities happening alongside this year’s sale.
The newly reconstituted Hillsboro debate team participated in the Nashville Urban Debate League’s City Championship tournament at Montgomery Bell Academy last weekend. Shoaib Laghari, Fatima Laghari, Kurt Schelzig, Jared Gamble, Elijah Ikard, Warsame Said, and Lance Obrohta all competed.
Despite their relative lack of experience, the team was seriously competitive in every debate this season, even winning best team in an earlier tournament. Several individuals placed consistently in the top third of all teams, with Kurt Schelzig winning best speaker of the tournament three times. Congratulations to all of these Burros and a huge thank you to AIBDP English teacher Joseph Nettles for coaching the team.
February’s PTSO meeting on Thursday, February 21, will be one you don’t want to miss. We will be getting construction updates and taking a tour of the new addition! The meeting will start a little earlier than normal (at 5:30 PM) to allow attendees to see the Black History Month choral concert at 7 PM. There’s a limit to the number of people who can go on the tour, so sign up HERE if you want to come!
