I am privileged to work alongside a remarkable team of professionals who are dedicated, caring, and committed in our efforts to improve Hillcrest Middle School. Additionally, being here to work with our students has been most rewarding. I am truly fortunate. Throughout this school year, our students have been working hard to continually improve their academic achievement as well as their positive behavior. We have had a lot to celebrate with many of our students, teachers, and clubs receiving academic accolades. We look forward to building on these successes as we transition into the second semester. Parents, thank you for your engagement in your child’s education and with our school. It takes everyone working together to keep Hillcrest Middle School invigorated and successful.
