There’s many ways to give and support our school and students.
Your donation plays a vital role in supporting Hillcrest’s mission of providing specialized education for students with learning differences. Student tuition provides for approximately 69% of the total educational cost, so the remaining program expenses are made possible through generous support from Hillcrest School friends, family, and community. With your help, we can keep tuition at a more manageable rate, maintain low student-to-teacher ratios, and enhance educational programs with excellent faculty in an outstanding educational setting.
When you make a gift to Hillcrest School, you help enhance students’ experiences through individualized educational programs designed to meet their unique needs. Each student in grades K-12 has a unique opportunity to develop skills for academic excellence and to gain the tools for a successful future.

Honorariums and Memorials
In 1993, the first loving tributes given to Hillcrest School in memory of a student built the initial library collection and provided for additional student resources. This thoughtful direction of gifts by the family had a lasting impact and still serves our students today.
For more information on planning a honorarium or memorial, please contact our Development Office at (432) 570-7444 or psumner@hillcrestschool.org.
