What Makes Our School Unique?
Welcome to Hillsboro High School, home of the Burros and one of the five high schools in Tennessee to receive recognition as an International Baccalaureate World School. Since 1939, Hillsboro has been recognized as one of Nashville’s finest high schools, noted for its academic excellence, diversity, and strong community support. Our students represent a diverse population, including individuals from over forty nations around the world.
