MPCSD schools present Ghost Light at Hillview PAC

Hillview Middle School presents the world premiere of Ghost Light, a play written by the district’s own Hillview Drama Director Bill Hairston.
A bunch of high schoolers trapped in a spooky, old theater with one flickering light and way too many ghost stories — what could possibly go wrong? Ghost Light mixes laughs, scares, and a dash of stage superstition in this spirited backstage murder mystery. The Ghost Light mustn’t go out!
— Hillview performers November 6 – 15, 2025
— Elementary performers November 17, 18, 19, 20, 2025

The performing arts are alive and well in Menlo Park City School District thanks to our generous community’s funding of the One Community Campaign which supports the Parent Teacher Organizations at Encinal, Laurel, Oak Knoll, and Hillview Schools as well as the Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation. California’s Prop 28 provides additional funds for arts instruction in schools.
