Put it on your calendar:
To promote CCMR, we designate Wednesdays as College, Career, and Military Day. Wear college and armed forces shirts.
To promote Hillcrest Spirit, we designate Fridays as Hillcrest Spirit Day. Wear all your Hillcrest SWAG.
This year, to streamline communication, we decided to make a one-stop-shop for all things Hillcrest "The Heart of Hillcrest". This site will help guide parents on what is going on at Hillcrest and who to contact for various questions. This site will be upgraded regularly.
When our new website administrators are trained, we will also update our website with the same information.
The goal is to have the same information in three different platforms to make it readily accessible.
Application Workshops
We know students have busy schedules, and we also know that class time is important. That is why we make efforts to be available outside of the school day and work around your student’s schedule. Our ASP office is open Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. (We are at the Richland campus most Wednesday and every other Friday) Students are welcome to stop by before school, during lunch, or after school to meet with us. We can also schedule appointments to stay after 5:00 p.m. when students need additional time and reach out to us in advance.
This month, we will be hosting two evening Application Parties! One on September 9th 4:30-6:30pm and September 22nd 4:30-7pm. Dinner will be provided, and our advisors will be on campus later in the day to help students work on college applications, essays, scholarships, and anything else they need to stay on track.
ASP SAT Prep
Want to boost your SAT score? Free ASP SAT Prep starts Tuesday, September 8th, and will meet every Tuesday from 4:40 to 5:30 PM in the Library! Come get extra practice, strategies, and support as you prepare for the SAT. All Hillcrest students are welcome!
It’s never too early to start preparing for the SAT! Beginning Tuesday, September 8, ASP will host SAT Prep in the Library after school. We’ll alternate between Math and English each week, and snacks will be provided! Each student has access to two free SAT fee waivers. Stop by the ASP office if you have questions about registering for the SAT or using your fee waivers.
As always, please don't hesitate to stop by the ASP office in the Library, Room 187, to ask us questions, learn more about upcoming events and opportunities for students, or tell us about the amazing things happening in your classrooms.
