Hilmar High School Happenings

September 25, 2026

Collaboration is happening in classrooms across Hilmar High School! 💚💛

In classrooms throughout campus, students are working together to solve problems, share ideas, ask questions, and learn new things. In this Ag Science lab, students are engaged in hands-on learning as they collaborate, investigate, and build their understanding together.
This is what learning looks like at HHS! 

Every Day Counts: Attendance Update

Every day and every period counts at Hilmar High School! From August 13 through September 25, our schoolwide average daily attendance stood at 96.46%. Even with a slight 2% dip from last week, we are still surpassing our school goal of 96%.
Daily attendance helps students stay engaged with their teachers, peers, and coursework. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our Yellowjackets in class, growing every day. Don't forget: when you miss school, you miss out on both learning and the fun!

Responsible. Resilient. College Ready.

This week, our U.S. History Dual Enrollment students welcomed an MJC librarian into their classroom to support them with college-level research. Opportunities like this are one of the many benefits of dual enrollment. Our students are not only earning college credit while still in high school, but they are also gaining experience with the expectations, resources, and skills they will need to be successful in college. Connecting our students directly with MJC resources helps make the transition from high school to college more familiar and gives them a chance to practice being college students while they are still here at Hilmar High School.

October 8th is on the Horizon!

October 8 is a big day! Only 40 schools will be selected as Division Finalists, with 10 schools from each region. Each finalist automatically receives $25,000. However, only the schools that advance from the round ending October 8 will move on to compete for the ultimate prizes, including the opportunity to win $1 million toward a home field upgrade.
This is about so much more than football. These funds could help create opportunities and improvements that benefit our athletes, students, youth sports, graduations, community events, and the many special moments we celebrate at McSweeny Field.
We need Hilmar to rally! Share photos, videos, and Reels that show what makes our community special: our Yellowjackets, Packers, cheer, band, youth sports, elementary and middle school activities, traditions, families, and all the moments that make us proud to call Hilmar home. Every post helps tell our story!
How to help:
Post from a public Instagram account and include all four:
  • @hhs_yellowjackets

Public feed posts and Reels qualify for entries. Stories do not, but sharing and resharing are always appreciated!
We have until October 8 to make the Top 40 and to enter the final round. Let’s rally together and show T-Mobile the heart, pride, and Jacket Way spirit of Hilmar!

We need your help to win $1,000,000 for Hilmar High through the T-Mobile Friday Night Lights 5G competition!

  • Friday Lunch Volunteers: We are looking for 1–2 parent volunteers each Friday through October (excluding Homecoming) from 11:40 AM to 12:22 PM to capture our students' green and gold spirit in front of our weekly FNL backdrop! Student lunch runs from 11:47 AM to 12:22 PM, so arriving at 11:40 AM gives you time to check in at the main office and grab the camera—we provide all the equipment, so we just need your time and energy. You'll get a front-row seat to see the fantastic backdrop masterpieces our students create each week! The photo station will be set up outside in the office patio area. Volunteers must sign up in advance by calling the main office.
