HHS asks for help to replace photos
The Hillsboro High School office staff is asking the public for student photos from seven graduating classes in an effort to replace photo display panels that were stolen last summer.
The missing classes are 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 2001 and 2002.
Donna Dalke, HHS secretary, said they would like to have wallet-size graduate photos submitted by March 13.
Replacing the missing panels isn?t of urgent importance, Dalke added, but the school would like to include every class in the display for the sake of alumni who visit the school for reunions and other gatherings.
Anyone with questions about replacement photos can contact Dalke at the HHS office: 947-3991.
