General News
Hilfest - THANK YOU
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all parents, students, staff, and community members for an amazing and successful first Hilfest in our new building! As a new teacher to Hilsman, this was an incredible experience and it was made possible thanks to our amazing Panther Family! THANK YOU :)

Community Health Night 2019 @ the Hilsman Healthcare Center
The doctor is in at Hilsman and Gaines! All students and staff at Gaines Elementary will soon have easy access to sick visits, well visits, immunizations, dental services, counseling services, and more.

The Hilsman Healthcare Center, located behind the gym, will have its grand opening on October 8th, and will coincide with CCSD's Community Health Night! The overall goal of Community Health Night is to connect families with local health resources. Last year, we had a variety of health and wellness related vendors including asthma & diabetes educators, vision & dental resources, the Clarke County Health Department, National EMS, behavioral health providers, exercise and nutrition resources, and many more. We had over 75 vendors and 500+ attendees!
