Hill College held the 2nd Annual Teen Forum on May 2 at the Johnson County Campus in Cleburne. 

Hill College Teen Forum began in 2005 by Dr. Pam Boehm, in collaboration with Hillsboro Independent School District. The program was specifically designed for high school seniors to develop and enhance their knowledge in pursuit of attending college, specifically Hill College. 

In 2018, the program was expanded to Cleburne ISD. This year, the Teen Forum Program was expanded to all of the Johnson County ISDs in the Hill College Maintenance Tax district. Each ISD has selected two graduating seniors to represent their district. 

Each spring the Teen Forum event is held and the candidates are given a campus tour, attend lunch, participate in a question and answer forum with Hill College faculty and staff, and receive a $1,000 scholarship to attend Hill College the following year. Additionally, students prepare prior to the Forum by learning about appropriate business attire, conduct, and resume writing. 

The following students participated in the Forum.
Alvarado High School: Kimberly Blackburn, Elaina Rico
Cleburne: Tyler Evans, Abigail Payan
