UPDATE: We are reaching out to share an update regarding the power situation at Hillcrest High School. We have made significant progress towards restoring full power to the school, and fully intend on opening school as normal in the morning. If something changes, we will provide an immediate update.
Hillcrest is experiencing an electrical fire that has resulted in the school requiring dismissal for the rest of the day. Buses have been called, and families may come and pick up their students from school from the regular pickup areas. Be assured, this is not related to the events from this weekend. We will provide an update in the near future.
The homecoming dance scheduled for Saturday, September 16, at Hillcrest High School has been cancelled.
Our other student of the week is Carl Binion. He is always helping his peers with technology issues in class. #hillcresthawkpride
