Hilmar High School Happenings

This week, our campus had the special privilege of hosting the Hilmar Historical Society during Jacket Time and lunch! Students had a unique opportunity to explore authentic memorabilia, photos, and artifacts from former Yellowjackets spanning generations of past history. Connecting today’s students with the rich tradition and legacy of Hilmar High reminds us all of the deep roots that make our Yellowjacket community so special!

At Hilmar High School, our goal is a 96% attendance rate, because every day and every period counts! Currently, our overall school attendance rate stands at 96.33%—a huge shoutout to our 9th graders leading the pack at 96.91%, followed closely by 11th grade (96.60%), 12th grade (96.42%), and 10th grade (95.33%)! Being at school consistently gives students the best opportunity to learn, stay connected, and keep up with their classes. We know things come up, and we appreciate your support in helping your student be here and ready to learn each day. As a friendly reminder, there is no school for students this Monday due to a teacher in-service day, making it a great time to schedule appointments, run errands, and handle other tasks that are tough to fit in during the school week. Thank you for helping us keep our Yellowjackets learning, growing, and showing up strong! 

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a college and career readiness program designed to equip students with essential organizational, study, and critical-thinking skills needed for higher education. To experience the excitement of university culture firsthand, last weekend, our AVID students headed to California State University, Fresno to cheer on the Bulldogs at a Fresno State football game! Being on campus for game day gave students a vivid taste of college spirit and campus life, helping inspire their own future academic goals. We are so proud of our AVID scholars for taking big steps toward their futures!
