Students in US History 9 recently participated in a "Land Rush" activity to better understand various impacts the Homestead Act of 1862 had on America.
This activity was modeled after the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. After filing a claim, students raced around the school to find their 160 acre plot of land. Three lucky students were "sooners", or individuals who illegally entered the territory before the beginning of the race and three other students were speculators or individuals who could grab several pieces of land and choose the best plot.
Like the real land rush, not everyone who participated received a plot of land. Those that didn't find land had to buy it from the speculator. Students then used their piece of land to work through a variety of tasks to complete the activity! #HSDGoTigers

These #HSDGoTigers had some very special visitors last week!
Last month, the computer science class learned about some of the many ways computer science is currently being used in the military.
SSG Robert Lee Shumaker II SSG and SSG Brent Mciver provided a presentation on CS technology in the military and gave a demonstration of the Packbot. This robot is a multi-mission tactical mobile robot developed and manufactured by iRobot. It is designed for use by war fighters and first responders to carry out dangerous missions in high-threat battlefield scenarios.
The robot is controlled by a mechanism very similar to controllers used for gaming. These controllers, combined with cameras mounted on the robot, allow soldiers to drive the robot in remote locations. After the demonstration, students were able to practice driving this robot using the controller and mounted cameras! #HSDGoTigers

Another area of focus for the upcoming November 6 Referendum would be repairing the Middle/High School roof.
The roof is a combination of Ballasted EPDM and Fully Adhered EPDM. Throughout the entire roof, there are tented areas (due to shrinking of the membrane) as well as many split seams which have been patched as age and fatigue of the material became more of a factor. Core cuts of the roof show the insulation is either wet or deteriorated throughout. The Elementary Gym roof is also a Ballasted EPDM roof that has evidence of shrinking, tenting and punctures.

Who is ready to recognize another amazing school board member?! Today, we want to shine a light on the one and only, Jason Oetzman!
Jason is a Hillsboro native and graduate from the class of 1999. He has two sons, Jaxson and Harrison, and a very supportive wife, Rebecca. He enjoys spending his free time with family and friends, camping, and volunteering for the local charity tractor pull!
When asked about his time on the school board, this is what he had to say:
"I'm in my fourth year as a Hillsboro School Board member. I enjoy working with all aspects of making the District one of choice for our students, staff, and community. Making a collaborative effort with administration, staff, and students input to make our District stronger. Realizing I'm just a small fraction of making a difference in a students experience, I still love it!
I chose to serve as a board member four years ago after the successful passing of a referendum. Being one of the chairs on the "yes" committee, I felt compelled to follow through with what we worked so hard for. As a district, we strive to provide our students with the highest level of education through our outstanding staff who continue to go above and beyond. Providing more curricular and non-curricular options and seeing them change our student's lives is the reason I serve on this school board.
The most exciting part of the Hillsboro School District is seeing our staff, our community, and our students improve because of a strong school system. We're never too young or old to change people lives! Together with a united district and community, we can provide these amazing experiences for our students."
Thank you for your dedication to our school board, Jason! We are so honored to have you! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud #CelebrateSchoolBoard

The next school board superstar we'd like to feature for School Board Appreciation Week is Lindsay OHair!
Lindsay and her husband, John, came to Hillsboro in 2012 with their five children to be closer to family and get out of the city and it was one of the BEST decisions they ever made! Lindsay works as a business analyst, however, she enjoys reading, playing piano and spending time with her children whenever she has free time.
When asked about her time on the school board, this is what she had to say:
"I have been on the Hillsboro School Board for one and a half years. I really enjoy collaborating with the team to set strategic goals so that we can have a sustainable school where students come first. I chose to serve as a board member because I wanted to be a part of making sure ALL our kids have a positive environment where they can grow and learn. With such great teachers and staff, who bring their best every day, you can really see the positive effect it's having on the kids and the community. It's so exciting!"
Thank you for all your hard work, Lindsay! We are so grateful to have you serve as one of our amazing board members! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud #CelebrateSchoolBoards

As part of the November 6, 2018 referendum, the School District of Hillsboro is seeking approval for $3.7 million that will go towards facility improvements.
Among the improvements is the replacement of the Middle/High School boilers. The white boilers were installed with the construction building in 1964-65 with an estimated life expectancy of 30 years. These boilers run at about 70% efficiency. With approval, boilers like those installed in the elementary school in 2014 (blue) will be installed. The new boilers are expected to run at about 88% efficiency!
