Inscription. Hillsboro High School was built in 1939 to serve rural students between Bellevue and Antioch. It is named for Hillsboro Pike, which runs along the western boundary of the school property. In 1952, following a complete renovation, the school was destroyed by a fire. Edwin Keeble designed the current mid-century modern building in 1954. The school was expanded, and the iconic clock added, in 1958. The campus was renovated in 1995, and another renovation was started in 2018.

Erected 2019 by The Historical Commission of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County. (Marker Number 204.)
