Students, teachers, and parents of Hillcrest have worked together since 2012 to make lasting changes in the areas of waste and recycling, water use, energy use, transportation, healthy school buildings and school grounds.  Service learning is the heart of our student Green Team and we have been proud to share our efforts and resources within our district, our community, and our state. We strive to find new ways to "Go Green!"

“Hillcrest continues to raise the bar in sustainability education and leadership. We believe that every student across the country should have the opportunity to learn in and from a green school environment and the students at Hillcrest are making that happen in their community every day. They serve as an inspiration to their peers, and we look forward to being part of and learning from their work.”
