First Day of School for Hillsboro R-3 for the 2026-2027 School Year

And just like that... we're back! The first day of the 2026-2027 school year is officially in the books at Hillsboro R-3! From our High School students walking the halls to some of our youngest Hawks beginning their adventure at the Hillsboro R- 3 Primary School and Hillsboro Early Childhood Center, today was filled with happy reunions, new classrooms, familiar faces and plenty of first-day excitement. Parents, we know how quickly these school years go. So take a few minutes and enjoy a look at Day One across Hillsboro R-3. And watch closely... Do you see your student? Welcome back, Hawks. Here's to a great year!
