During an all-school assembly on June 14, 2017, Hillcrest staff was thrilled to share the news with our students that their contributions toward environmental sustainability earned our school Platinum Level Certification from Washington Green Schools

Washington Green Schools facilitates a framework for students to investigate environmental issues at school, create an action plan, and make a meaningful lasting change on campus. To become recognized as a certified Washington Green School, schools certify in one or more of six environmental categories.

Students celebrated their accomplishment of being the only school in the Washington State to be honored as both a National Green Ribbon School and a Platinum Level Washington Green School with a PTA sponsored ice cream party and an all-school group photo!
