The internet will be down, for updates, at Hillcrest, beginning at 2:00. It will hopefully only be down for 30 minutes or so. As a result, there will be no phone service at either campus.
Are you planning to go to UACCB this fall? UACCB will be here on FRIDAY, MARCH 19 to do pre-registration for any seniors who plan to attend there in the fall. You will get to meet with an advisor, make your class schedule, get your student ID made, and be ready to start at UACCB in the fall! If you can come to this pre-registration event please let Mrs. Johnson know ASAP so that she can set up a time-slot for you. Word is that if you make your schedule this day you will have a better chance of getting into your classes than if you wait so DON'T WAIT!!
Marnie Johnson, Counselor
Hillcrest School District
Jostens graduation orders are in and available to be picked up in the high school principal's office. Seniors that have paid for their orders in full, may come by the office to pick up your merchandise during regular school hours.
