Hillcrest is mourning the sudden passing of our dedicated and committed community leader, Mont L. Millerberg, Canyons District Board of Education Representative. As a Hillcrest alum, Mont was a fierce advocate for Hillcrest and our Midvale area schools. A memorial fund in Millerberg’s name has been set up by the Canyons Education Foundation. All funds raised will go to fulfilling his legacy of dedicated service: https://www.successfund.com/millerbergmemorialfund
