The Hilliard City School District is in the process of adopting a new 6-12 English Language Arts resource called StudySync by McGraw Hill. During the next two weeks, the Board of Education and the community will have the opportunity to preview this new resource. We invite all families and the community to preview StudySync and if so desire, use the Feedback Form to provide feedback. Clicking on this link will provide a preview for our families. A sample display of the curriculum resource by grade level will also be available at Central Office on May 15 – May 26. Visitors may come in person to preview the samples between the hours of 9:00am-11:00am and 2:00pm-4:00pm.
Students from both Station and Tharp have been preparing for Battle of the Books 2023 since the beginning of April. Students formed teams and read 20 different books over the past few weeks. They then competed against each other in their buildings for the title of building winner, and on Wednesday, May 17th, the top two teams from Tharp traveled to Station to compete for the 6th Grade Champion. After an impressive and fierce battle, the Station team of “Not Bad” was crowned 2023 champions after defeating the Tharp team of “Fighting Five.” Congrats to all 16 teams that competed across the two buildings!
Battle of the Books is one of many unique ways for students to complete their reading standards with a fun, engaging way of learning.
The standard states that by the end of the year, students must read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, in grades 6–8 text complexity and proficiently.

Hilliard Schools is dedicated to proactively planning for the future of the district, both in preparing its students to be Ready For Tomorrow and making wise financial decisions that make the best use of our taxpayer dollars.
Conducting enrollment studies, including a student potential analysis for new development, is one piece of this puzzle. Our latest enrollment report projects that enrollment will remain flat or even decline slightly over the next 10 years. Even with all the new housing construction throughout the district, our enrollment experts tell us that it will take years for those communities to fully develop.
Our Master Facility Plan is another piece of the puzzle. Phase one of our plan involved expanding all-day kindergarten to every elementary school in the district. We were also able to expand our preschool. The $3.8-million expansion added eight new classrooms to the existing building and replaced the current playground.
We recently launched phase two of our plan, which includes an Educational Adequacy Assessment. This analysis will complement the facility condition and enrollment data information that we monitor on an annual basis and will inform us on how well our buildings fit the educational delivery model today and what we want to deliver in the future. A Steering Committee, made up of experts, staff, community members, and students will reconvene in September to review the results, then hold several work sessions and a community engagement survey that will ultimately lead to a road map in addressing the needs of our facilities well into the future.
Our schools are a reflection of our community, and as such, your feedback and ideas are crucial to the future success of our district. Stay tuned for ways you can get involved.
