Impact

Providing youth with positive outcomes.

Hillcrest Academy provides a safe, high school environment where students develop their skills with the help of supportive faculty and staff. Our graduates get jobs, succeed in school and return to alumni events, proud to tell us of what they have accomplished. Through our strong public-private partnership with Hamilton County Court, talented workforce, supportive communities and progressive policies, Hillcrest offers youth a chance to receive a quality education, to discover a passion in sports, the arts or vocations, and (most importantly) the chance for rehabilitation and reintegration.
