five students holding certificates by a table with cake

The Hillside Battle of the Books team spent months reading and preparing for the DPS High School Battle of the Books district competition on Friday, February 28th, 2025. They spent the day answering questions about the 16 books on this season's reading list, and placed 6th!

On Thursday, March 20th, they gathered in the Hillside Media Center to celebrate the season and plan for the upcoming 2025-2026 season with a whole new list of titles.
