Hillsboro Middle School eighth-graders traveled to Washington, D.C. on April 11-13.

They took many memorable tours including Ford’s Theatre, where they watched the musical "1776," the Newseum, Jefferson Memorial, Martín Luther King Memorial, FDR Memorial, White House, Smithsonian, Holocaust Museum, Arlington National Cemetery, World War II, Korean, and Vietnam Memorials, Washington National Cathedral, U.S. Capital, Lincoln Memorial, and the Marine Memorial.

On the way home, they toured through Gettysburg and saw many of the battlefields. The highlight of the trip was watching the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Four of the 124 students were selected from an essay contest to present the wreath at the wreath ceremony.

The student would like to thanks Mr. Randy Phipps for being their trip coordinator and Mrs. Coblentz, Mr. Robertson, Mrs. Weiderman, Mrs. Hunter, Mr. White, Mrs. Boatman, and Mrs. Carter for being the chaperones.
