Senior Exhibition 2024

March 2024: For the first time ever, Hilton High School hosted an exhibition, in an off-site gallery, for the graduating senior class of artists! Our Advanced and DP program artists have worked for up to two-years on this exhibition, the culminating* event for high school art careers! A number of these students will have the work adjudicated by IB examiners as part of their course assessment, and this was a fantastic way to share their talents. A huge thanks to the crowd of art-lovers who came out to see the opening night, and a special thanks to Hilton-Parma Recreation for giving us use of this amazing space!
