History

The school opened in 1938 as Vickery Meadows High School. In 1945 it was renamed to Hillcrest High School.[3]

Prior to the 1970s Hillcrest was known as "Hebrew High" due to the number of Jewish students enrolled.[7][8]

Campus

The Franklin Stadium is located at Hillcrest. In June 2011 the DISD board voted against renaming the stadium after John McClamrock.[9]

In fall 2019 a new addition with 22 classrooms, an administrative area, a 7,500-square-foot (700 m2) competition gymnasium, a locker room, and a tornado shelter, along with renovations, are to be completed.[10]
