As a school community, Hilliard City Schools achieves excellence in the classroom that helps to prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow. However, we are also leading the way with cost reductions including energy savings projects and innovative uses of technology that reduce our operational costs and direct more money into the classroom.
For example, since 2008 Hilliard City Schools has eliminated more than $19.6 million from its budget. This includes reallocating staff, employee pay freezes and higher health insurance contributions from employees. Read More »
Final exams will be administered Tuesday, May 28th through Friday, May 31st. Please click on the link for the revised schedule.
As you make plans for your students to come to Darby this year please understand that as a high school we do not publish class supply lists like many of the elementary or middle schools. Typically each teacher will determine what is necessary for their class and communicate this to the students in the first week of school. On the first day of school a student who arrives with paper, pen or pencil and their back pack will be well prepared for the first day of school.
As we prepare to shut down the website for the summer we want to communicate to our parents, staff and especially the students how blessed all of us feel to be working for Hilliard City Schools and at Darby in particular. It is a privilege for us to be able to work daily with such a phenomenal group of young people. This is not to say there are not days and students we find to be challenging. We do. Hence our motto of, “Accept the Challenge.” We hope that all of you find rest, relaxation, and opportunities for learning over the summer.
Please know that the office remains open throughout the summer months. If you have questions or concerns please call 614-921-7303.
The website will be not be updated daily during the month of June, July, and parts of August.
This information was sent home previously. We have received questions so we are reposting the information for the 2011 graduates and their families.

Congratulations to all of the Seniors who were honored in this morning’s assembly. There were a number of scholarships awarded and academic letters of recognition. With over a month left to go the class of 2011 has already accumulated over 3 million dollars in scholarship money. An outstanding achievement by an outstanding group of young people.
The media specialists at the three high schools in Hilliard wrote and received a grant from the Hilliard Education Foundation to bring Ellen Hopkins, the New York Times best-selling author, to Bradley, Darby and Davidson high schools May 4-6. She is the author of the wildly popular novel-in-verse trilogy Crank, Glass, and Fallout. Her visit will support both the Language Arts and Wellness curricula of Hilliard City Schools. It will enhance students’ understanding of the human story by reading literary text in the content area of health and wellness, and will also further students’ understanding that risk taking has unexpected consequences, and that a person has obligations to their health and the health of their family. Students will understand that life changes and outside influences affect self concepts. .
She will present to students in assemblies and writing workshops. Her visit will culminate in a program open to the public at Davidson High School, Friday, May 6, from 7-8 PM in the Performing Arts Center.
