Dear Hillcrest Community
As the Thanksgiving Break approaches, we take time to reflect on what we are grateful for: We are grateful for our 420 highly talented, hard working, and enthusiastic students. We are grateful for the Hillcrest teachers and staff who go above and beyond each day for our students to provide high quality instruction and memorable experiences. We are grateful for our Custodial Staff who keep our school facilities running smoothly and upkeep the beauty of our campus. We are grateful for all our parents, families, and community partners who help ensure our signature programs continue to be relevant and engaging. Together through strong partnerships we make Hillcrest the happiest school.
