The Hillcrest Boys Volleyball Program honored five outstanding seniors during last night’s matchup against Crete-Monee. Khadyous (KD) Gibson, Ahmeed Minter, Thomas Perez, Georgio (Jo Jo) McClown, and team manager Pamela Palacios have all been integral to the team’s success this season. Surrounded by family members, friends, teammates, and staff, they were celebrated before taking the court to face the Warriors.
The evening also highlighted the impact of several Hillcrest staff members. Each senior recognized a staff member who made a lasting difference in their high school experience, presenting them with a plaque and certificate. It was a meaningful way for the seniors to show appreciation for those who supported them not only on the court, but throughout their time at Hillcrest.
It was a memorable night filled with gratitude, celebration, and lasting memories for everyone involved.
Family & Friends Art Night at Hillcrest High School!
This event brought together students, families, and community members for an evening of creativity, connection, and hands-on art-making. Guests of all ages participated in interactive stations including canvas painting, mini sculptures, face painting, and collaborative drawing.
The goal of the event was to create an inviting and accessible space where families could engage in the arts together while celebrating the creativity happening within our school community. It was so wonderful to see students creating alongside parents, siblings, and community members! #hillcresthawkpride
Our Health Fair this year hosted by the Health Office was a huge success!
We had a total of 15 vendors to come to our school and give our students the best experience possible. The students were very engaged with our vendors and truly benefited from this event. We strive in helping our students learn about their health, access valuable resources, and feel supported by our staff.
Thank you to everyone who attended this event, helped in any way, and even volunteered their time! #hillcresthawkpride
