Hilton High School is part of the 4,450-student Hilton Central School District, a public school system based in Hilton, a suburb of Rochester, New York. Hilton High School offers an International Baccalaureate Diploma, and the school has made Newsweek's top 1,200 schools in the United States each year since ranking at number 989 in 2005. Hilton Central School District is led by Superintendent of Schools Casey Kosiorek.
Hilton Schools have a long history of achievement graduating the first Regents Diploma student, Miss Jennie Mitchell, in 1899. More than 20 one-room schoolhouses and the "Henry Street School" were centralized in 1949. In 2008 the Hilton School District's Music Program was named "One of the Best Communities for Music Education in the Nation" by the NAMM Foundation.
Superintendents have brought many innovations and sweeping facility upgrades to the District's five schools and transportation facility including a $60 million capital project in 2001-05. In Hilton, the students excel. A significant number or graduates have been accepted to US military academies, and over 90% of Hilton's graduates go on to further education.
In March 2005, Hilton added, as a part of their Capital Bond Project, an Aquatic Center at Merton Williams Middle School, thus replacing the old five-lane pool. This eight-lane pool with an attached diving well and two diving boards includes bleachers for 240 spectators, and an electronic scoreboard. Local swim teams practice and swim in this pool, including H.A.S.T (Hilton Area Swim Team) and the Girls' and Boys' Modified, Junior Varsity, and Varsity teams.
Football has been a mainstay for Hilton Central High School drawing thousands of fans to LeBeau field on Friday nights. Led by longtime head coach Rich Lipani, the Cadets football team are perennial contenders for sectional titles.
In 2008, under the direction of Gary Buchholz and Phil D'Agostino along with students Tim Woodward, Andrew Zielinski, and Adam Hertzlin, Hilton won the 2008 Monroe Community College High School Engineering Competition in the SumoBot competition, claiming the top 4 places.
In 2005, the Hilton Girls' Cross Country Team won the 2005 Nike Team Nationals Race, making them the number one girls' cross country team in the nation. In 2006, Allison Sawyer and Caroline Shultz advanced to the Foot Locker National Championship meet in Colorado, putting them in contention with the top 40 girl cross country runners in the United States.
In 2014, the Hilton Cadets Wrestling Team won the Section V Class AA tournament and finished the season ranked fourth in New York State.
