Last night, the Hillcrest Boys Basketball Program honored and retired the jersey of Jerel McNeal. Jerel was a key player on the 2005 Hillcrest State Championship team and went on to excel at Marquette University. After an impressive collegiate career, he took his talents to the NBA, playing for the Phoenix Suns. We are incredibly fortunate to have him now as a coach for our Boys Varsity team, inspiring the next generation of athletes. Here's to Jerel, a true legend of Hillcrest Basketball! 🏀 #HillcrestHawkPride #JerelMcNeal #Legend

Check out these snapshots of our students experiencing the power of perception! #hillcresthawkpride

🌟 Key Club Community Outreach Day Highlights 🌟
What an amazing day! Key Club kicked off their annual Community Outreach Day by visiting the littles at Kindercare down the street. They donated over 100 books, and their smiles were priceless! 📚😊 Students read, played, and had a blast with the kiddos. Plus, our students got the chance to chat with the workers about careers—what an inspiring morning!
Next, they headed to Victory Centre of Sierra Ridge Assisted Living, where they ran a fun BINGO session for over 30 residents. 🎉 Our students took charge—calling numbers, assisting, and handing out prizes (which were generously donated by my awesome Key Club members). The kids were total stars and represented us SO well! ✨
Enjoy these pics of the day’s fun! 📸
