Message from Sara Guerra, Principal
Hillcrest Elementary School opens its doors to 700 kids every morning who aim for Pride in Progress daily. This school year the focus will be to improve math and science instruction in order to achieve Recognized status from the state education agency. Students will also have the opportunity to perform musicals, holiday plays, historical dramas and presentations. This allows teachers to reach all children of all levels and backgrounds.
Mornings find students participating in art club, choir, student council, library assistance team and peer mediation. After school students are seen studying hard and working in small groups to achieve higher academic standards as well as participating in chess club, and school dances.

Hillcrest has accumulated many local, state and national awards. Among those are the following:
