Hillcrest high school has been an amazing place to spend the last four years of my life. I have met tons of great people and learned many valuable lessons. I believe I have been well prepared and I am ready to take my next step into the future.

I love going to Hillcrest! The teachers care a lot about their students and want them to succeed! I am going to miss Hillcrest so much when I graduate in May 2025!

I've been at hillcrest high school since my freshman year; I was an athlete for a while until I decided to focus on getting on a job and school. This school is not a great school but it is also not a bad one. For the most part the teachers at this school are very helpful and care about our education.

Both children were (and are for the one still in school )active i...
