History
Hillsboro School celebrated its 100th birthday in 1991. It began as a
private school in the Leiper's Fork community and was purchased by the
Williamson County Board of Education in 1905. The school continued at
the same campus until a lightening strike in 1930 burned the original
buildings. In 1933 Williamson County Board of Education rebuilt the
facility. Hillsboro's enrollment increased to 550 students in 1976 with
the consolidation of Burwood and Evergreen Schools. In 1979 high school
students were dispersed to Franklin and Fairview High Schools. A new
