Why Education is important
Student Involvement
Student involvement in clubs, sports, school events, and community service is essential to students' success. Hilltop High School has various student involvement opportunities. Participation in extracurricular activities will provide students with many skills for their future education and career choices. You may contact your counselor.
Start to research for volunteer opportunities. Most scholarships require students to have completed volunteering hours. It may also have a positive impact on applying to college(s).
