Hillcrest High School (Dallas) Explained
Hillcrest High School, formerly Vickery Meadows High School is a public secondary school located in North Dallas, Texas (USA). Hillcrest High School enrolls students in grades 9–12 and is a part of the Dallas Independent School District. In 2018, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.[5]
History
The school opened in 1938 as Vickery Meadows High School. In 1945 it was renamed to Hillcrest High School.
Prior to the 1970s Hillcrest was known as "Hebrew High" due to the number of Jewish students enrolled.[6] [7]
Campus
The Franklin Stadium is located at Hillcrest. In June 2011 the DISD board voted against renaming the stadium after John McClamrock.[8]
In fall 2019 a new addition with 22 classrooms, an administrative area, a 7500square feet competition gymnasium, a locker room, and a tornado shelter, along with renovations, are to be completed.[9]
Neighborhoods served
Several Dallas communities such as portions of Preston Hollow (including a portion of Old Preston Hollow, Preston Hollow North, and Preston Hollow West), University Meadows, a small portion of Vickery Meadow, and a portion of Addison are zoned to Hillcrest.[10]
