Boyden–Hull High School is the only public high school located in Hull, Iowa, United States. Their mascot is the Comet. The school's athletic teams compete in the Siouxland Conference. A few sports are shared with Rock Valley High School, a fellow Siouxland Conference member. The combined teams are known as the Nighthawks.
Two private secondary schools are also located within the Boyden–Hull Community School District, Western Christian and Trinity Christian.
Boyden and Hull were separate school districts until 1959. The first classes as a consolidated school district took place on August 31, 1959. Hull High School's athletic teams were known as the Wild Cats. Before the merger, Hull's basketball team had been to the state playoffs five times. Boyden Public School's mascot was the Bombers.
Smart Boards were first installed in 2007. A one to one computing initiative was started in the 2011-12 school year, as was the school's use of Moodle. The district shares some classes with the nearby Rock Valley High School and George-Little Rock High School through polycom videoconferencing technology. Online classes are available for dual high school and college credit though Northwest Iowa Community College. A school resource officer was assigned to the district beginning with the 2010 school year.
Most of the school building was remodeled in the 1980s. The auditorium was renovated in July 2013 and reopened in time for the 2013-14 school year. The gymnasium was refurbished in 2015.
Boyden–Hull's athletic field was named for superintendent A.R. Hesla in 1974. The football and track facilities there are shared with Western Christian. The concession stand at Hesla was rebuilt in summer 2016.
The STORM (Students Teaching Others Role Modeling) Team was organized in the late 1990s. The student organization is mainly active around Red Ribbon Week and also volunteers at the local chapter of the Ronald McDonald House. Boyden–Hull Summer Theatre began in 2009.
