Principal's Message
Dear Hillcrest Academy North Campus (HAN) Students and Families:
Wow! Where does the time go!
Tomorrow wraps up another successful school year at HAN. We have enjoyed all of the end of the year events such as Award's Night, Senior Trip, Senior Recognition Dinner, and our School BBQ. It was so nice to see the enjoyment the students were having during the events. The smiles on their faces and the laughter I heard always makes me feel so satisfied that we ended the school year on a positive note with much to be proud of. I wish the Senior Class the very best as they enter college or career in September. You have impressed me so much and I look forward to a visit from you soon.
Thank you HAN for, once again, a very productive and meaningful school year!
Sincerely,
Mr. Marquet
Principal
