History

Prior to the construction of the high school, students from Hillsborough Township attended Somerville High School for grades 9-12 as part of a sending/receiving relationship. The Somerville Public Schools had notified the district in the early 1960s that Hillsborough students could not be accommodated in Somerville after 1968. The Hillsborough district attempted unsuccessfully to seek partners for a regional district and had voters reject by a nearly 3-1 margin a 1964 referendum that would have allocated $2.9 million for a high school. By 1966, Hillsborough was paying tuition for nearly 500 students to attend school in Somerville for grades 9-12, with that number expected to grow to exceed 900 by 1968.[6]

Constructed at a cost of $3.5 million (equivalent to $27.9 million in 2022), the not-yet-fully-completed school opened in September 1969 with 730 students in grades 9 and 10, with those in grades 11 and 12 completing their high school education in Somerville.[7]

Awards, recognition and rankings

The school was the 74th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[8] The school had been ranked 106th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 81st in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[9] The magazine ranked the school 84th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[10] The school was ranked 100th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state.[11] Schooldigger.com ranked the school 69th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 12 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (89.1%) and language arts literacy (97.3%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[12]

In its listing of "America's Best High Schools 2016", the school was ranked 217th out of 500 best high schools in the country; it was ranked 34th among all high schools in New Jersey and 17th among the state's non-magnet schools.[13]

In its 2013 report on "America's Best High Schools", The Daily Beast ranked the school 740th in the nation among participating public high schools and 57th among schools in New Jersey.[14]

Clubs

Hillsborough High School has 74 different clubs and activities. Students can make a new club with a faculty member and administration approval.

Marching Band - "The Pride of Hillsborough"

Under the direction of Jules Haran and Nicholas Clipperton, HHS Raider Marching Band took the title of 2018 Mid-Atlantic Regional Champions with a score of 98.125, 2017 Group V Open State Champions, 2015 Group V Open State Champions,[15] 2014 Group V Open State Champions, 2011 Group V Open State Champions, 2010 Group V Open Northern State Champion with a score of 97.175 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.[16] In 2006, at the USSBA National Championships at Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, Hillsborough High School was recognized as Best Color Guard National Championship title in Class IV.[17] Also in 2006. at the USSBA-hosted state championships at Rowan University in Glassboro, Hillsborough High School took the title of Group IV Open state champions for the fourth consecutive year.

Debate club

One of the most popular and successful clubs at the school is Model United Nations and Model Congress, collectively known as HHS Debate. HHS Debate regularly wins delegation awards and many individual awards at conferences all across the country. In 2008, HHS Debate picked up the Best Delegation Award from Duke Model United Nations, with every individual member of the team winning an individual award. In 2009, the team won Best Delegation at Virginia Model United Nations. At Hillsborough's flagship conference, Rutgers Model Congress, the team has won a first or second place delegation award for nine out of ten years.

Robotics

In 2007, the school's robotics team helped pass legislation through the New Jersey Senate recognizing FIRST. This dedicated the week of February 26 through March 3 of 2007 to FIRST in an effort to support science, technology, as well as all the participants at FIRST. The robotics team, known formally as Team 75, has continuously worked with NJ legislature to support recognition for science and technology and is the oldest active FIRST team in New Jersey. The team also won the 2007 Chesapeake Regional and the 2007 Chairman's Award at the NJ Regional.[18]

The Student Diversity Initiative

The Student Diversity Initiative is a student-run group that strives to promote unbiased, authentic discussion, thorough education, and widespread awareness of diversity issues to make systemic changes in schools and communities. The ultimate goal is to cultivate community conversations at every level to shift perspectives and to challenge prejudice within NJ. In 2020, the Student Diversity Initiative hosted a National Day of Racial Healing, and a Christmas Donations to Children in Need. In 2021, they hosted The Black Experience in America: A Closer Look - a panel in honor of Black History Month, spoke at Kean University to numerous NJ school districts, and hosted conversations with teachers, businesses, schools, and administrators to help evolve the current curriculum.

The Student Diversity Initiative's current path towards world unity, community, and liberation is to organize events to create cultural awareness on racial literacy, discrimination, race, gender, diversity, and age while cultivating numerous diverse sets of voices.
