Welcome Hillsboro School District students, families, and staff!
We are excited to have you take part in this effort to create more local and culturally representative street names for the City of Hillsboro!
To inspire participation and show the importance of your voice, we are including a raffle as part of this community naming effort.
Submit 10 Street Name Ideas & Enter to WIN CASH PRIZES!
If you submit at least 10 street names that fit all the criteria, you'll be entered into a raffle to win one of 10 cash prizes of $300!
Criteria for Street Naming
Street names must:
Engender a strong positive image
Be appropriate
Have historical, cultural, or social significance
Commemorate people, places, and events of continued importance to community
Honor and respect indigenous and other historically marginalized groups
Avoid commercialization
Key considerations:
Always have a single logical spelling. Avoid unclear spellings such as:
Ideally, the name will have a single logical pronunciation. Variable pronunciation is okay as long as all pronunciations point back towards the single logical spelling.
Avoid long or complex names. Complex names typically have more than three syllables and more than two words.
Names may be selected from any language provided the spelling is consistent and easy to understand in the Roman alphabet.
Why are we engaging the community?
In August 2021, Hillsboro City Council adopted a Citywide naming policy, acknowledging that assigning names is a powerful and recognizable identity that should reflect the community we serve. With the expansion of our City, including South Hillsboro, there is a growing need to have more unique, diverse, and representative street names.
We're including the Hillsboro School District in this process to ensure our new street names reflect robust representation of our City’s robust diversity.
