Market on the Hill - The Hillcrest High School Counseling Center opened a food pantry in March of 2012 to service students that may need additional nutritional support from time to time. We offer services on a bi-monthly, monthly, and one-time basis. Students may qualify for assistance if they are a Hillcrest student, qualify for free or reduced lunch, and/or have an emergency situation occur. We are here to service our students and their support systems. We want families to have nutrition available in order to increase everyone's overall health. Students that are interested will need to fill out an application. Applications can be found here, please complete and return to Mrs. Long in room 119 or the front office. Students/families will need to place their order on the Google Form found on the Hornet Hub and/or Counseling Commons Canvas pages. Orders will need to be submitted by Wednesday and will be ready for pick up on Friday. Our mission is to reduce the variable hunger in a student's life, so they may have a more productive educational day.
