Welcome

As you may have heard, Hillsboro School District is planning boundary adjustments to most schools within the district.

The current proposed change has major implications to Indian Hills as a school and as a community. The purpose of this blog is to share information with the local community, encourage active participation in the boundary process and to ensure that the unique neighborhood character of our school is preserved.

Indian Hills History from the school website:

Indian Hills Elementary School is a neighborhood school proud of its distinction as the first in the Hillsboro School District to receive the "Exceptional" rating twice from the State of Oregon.

Indian Hills School has a strong tradition of providing a high quality of education for children in our community. Indian Hills was first opened in September of 1979. In 1985 the Kindergarten program was added. Indian Hills School now educates children from kindergarten through the sixth grade.

Indian Hills is one of six schools from the Reedville School District which unified with the Hillsboro School District in July of 1996. It retains the unique characteristic of a neighborhood school. Parent support of teachers and programs, through the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and volunteer work, is evidence of active community interest and participation. The Indian Hills School staff has responded the this challenge and in turn has established high performance standards for itself.
