In performing arts, the school has an International Thespian Society chapter (Troupe #5928) for drama students. It has a men's chorus, a women's chorus, and the auditioned HHS Symphonic Choir. The Symphonic Choir has won Superior ratings at state contest each year for more than a decade. It also provides a symphonic band that competes at OMEA. The school also provides a fall play and a spring musical that students may audition for. A concert band is offered, and band students have the opportunity to perform in the marching band, basketball pep band, a jazz band class offered during the school day, and the auditioned after-school jazz ensemble. Students may also perform at the Ohio Music Education Association Solo & Ensemble contest in January–February.

In October 2021, the school district cancelled a production of the play She Kills Monsters: Young Adventurers Edition at Hillsboro High School because the play included a lesbian character.[7][8][9][10] Play organizers raised enough money to put the play on at a different location.[11]
