This morning, Principal Washington along with former Principal Towner had the honor of attending the Illinois Principal Association breakfast, where two of our outstanding students, Olivia Alexander and Caimora Montgomery, were recognized for their hard work, leadership, and dedication as Hawks! They enjoyed a well-deserved breakfast celebration alongside other student leaders from across the region. We are so proud of Olivia and Camilla for representing our school with excellence—keep soaring, Hawks! #hillcresthawkpride



Seniors took their culminating trip by going to a variety of places downtown. They started at a Navy Pier where they went on the Ferris Wheel, had a blast in the Fun House and visited different stores and sampled different foods. They then traveled to the Field Museum where they learned about different areas of the world. From there they traveled to the Planetarium and then walked along the lake front. Seniors had a blast while making many memories along the way. It was a perfect trip to end their senior year. #hillcresthawkpride







Incredible leaders have the best mentors. Happy Principal Appreciation Day to Mr. Towner!
Your leadership, kindness, and commitment have shaped Hillcrest in unforgettable ways. We’re going to miss you deeply, but your impact will always be a part of our school. Best of luck at district office in your new role 💙
Thank you for everything you’ve done!
