***Incoming Seniors***
We wanted to make you aware that Hillcrest will be offering online options for next year’s Seniors in English and US Government. These are options that will be taught by Hillcrest teachers and are being made available to seniors only in order to increase flexibility in their scheduling and provide additional opportunities for next school year. On a space available basis, students can select in-person or online options in these classes next year.

Tickets are now on sale for Senior Dinner Dance in the main office. Tickets are $10 a student. This can be paid in the main office with cash, card or check. The deadline to buy a ticket is May 19th. So please stop by and buy a ticket ASAP.
