Principal's Message
Dear Hillcrest Academy North Campus (HAN) Students and Families:
May was an exciting month at Hillcrest Academy North! Students enjoyed an incentive trip to the Roller Rink and fun was had by all. Mr. Grez's Biology classes took a trip to the Turtle Back Zoo where they learned more about the animals they have been studying all year. Mr. Kaplan's US History II class is scheduled to take a trip to the Vietnam Memorial and our graduating seniors are looking forward to their Senior Trip next month.
We welcomed Chris Flamini as the Safety and Security Monitor and he is doing an excellent job! Mr. Flamini is making positive connections with students and ensuring that Hillcrest North is a safe place to be.
We are looking forward to our annual Awards Night and Senior Recognition Dinner in June where we can honor all of the hard work students have put in throughout the year. Seniors are excited for the final moments of high school and earning their diplomas. As we head into the final weeks of the school year, students and staff are focused on the finish line.
Keep up the good work, HAN!
Sincerely,
Mr. Marquet
Principal
