Core Values
Hillcrest's Core Values are:
Community
– Understanding how our actions can benefit the collective and thereby benefit each of us because we are part of the collective
Collaboration
– Understanding that we will accomplish more together than we can individually
Equity
– Overserving the underserved through culturally responsive instructional resources and approaches that validate and affirm historically marginalized learners; then, building and bridging to ever increasing access to rigorous teaching and learning for school success
Innovation
– Seeking new experiences and ways of being and doing to address critical issues and solve problems
Accountability
– Systematically and fairly recognizing and celebrating the accomplishments of students, teachers, and staff as well as the failures of the school as a whole
Well-being
– Creating safe and loving physical and emotional spaces for all stakeholders so that cooperation and conflict occur constructively, our health is maximized, and harm is minimized and/or repaired
