college or university of his or her choice before graduation.
Furthermore, students must complete at least 10 community
service hours for each year of grades 9 through 12 in order to
receive a diploma from HCS.The Hillcrest campus is strategically
located where Jackson and Byram converge; we serve

including Pearl, Raymond, Florence, and Flora, among
other cities and towns in central Mississippi.
Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
The average private school tuition in Mississippi is $5,376 for elementary schools and $6,101 for high schools (read more about average private school tuition across the country).
