Academically, students are expected to master the knowledge and skills needed to ensure success in college.Our curriculum is college preparatory; therefore, each graduate must be accepted to at least one 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 students who live throughout the metro area, including Pearl, Raymond, Florence, and Flora, among other cities and towns in central Mississippi.
