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.

15 for All

A special thank you to Mr. Booth and co-sponsor Mrs. Sandles for launching the 15 for All program at Hillcrest High School!


This program focuses on preparing students for college before they ever step onto a college campus. Through 15 for All, students learn the responsibilities and expectations of college, develop strong study habits, become aligned with college-level coursework, and gain the skills needed to succeed academically. These students will graduate high school with 15 college credits.


Thank you, Mr. Booth and Mrs. Sandles, for investing in our students and helping prepare them to become college-ready, career-ready, and globally competitive! ❤️🖤🎓🐾

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.

How to check-out a student who drives

Email Ms. Balderas at hillcresths@dallasisd.org with a written note that the students needs to be checked-out, the reason, and at what time. In addition, a photo ID of the requester needs to be attached to the email. This is to verify the requester has the legal authority to check out the student.
