A Tribute to Hebron, Its People and Its Schools

This statue of our school’s mascot, the Hebron Bear, is dedicated to our classmates and friends who made our time in school so memorable, to the teachers, coaches, school board volunteers and administrators who provided the invaluable guidance and motivation early in our lives, and to the local community and its citizens for providing such a wonderful education and place in which to grow up.

This school and this community have proudly provided a quality education for nearly 3500 of its children from 1871 through 2000 as Hebron High School.

We dedicate the statue in its honor and memory.

Gratefully,
