The Music Program at  Hillsborough High School provides opportunities for any student, regardless of musical background.  Our vocal and instrumental performance groups have been honored at numerous competitions and concerts.  Involved students hone their musical skills while performing for adjudication and for the promotion of the arts as they often entertain at community events.  The music department offers courses appropriate to a variety of ability levels with opportunities for advancement based upon development.  Please visit our department website for more information about our courses.
