Hillcrest School...home of the Hound Dogs

Principal: Mrs. Paula Thomas
Assistant Principal: Brent Borchelt


Welcome to Hillcrest Elementary School's website! Hillcrest opened its doors on February 18, 1952 in response to the growth of Downers Grove after Wold War II. Over the years, the physical building has been expanded twice, first in 1957 and then in 1993. One thing that hasn't changed over the years is the Hillcrest community. The Hillcrest community consists of dedicated staff, involved parents and enthusiastic students. Please take a look around and come back soon!

District 58 launches superintendent search, seeks feedback

The District 58 Board of Education has launched its search for a new superintendent to replace Paul Zaander, who will retire at the end of the 2011-12 school year.

The Board of Education voted in October to retain the services of School Exec Connect to assist with the search process. This firm specializes in assisting boards seeking to hire superintendents. A very important early step in the search process is to identify the characteristics the Board of Education will be looking for in the new superintendent.

Parents, staff and community members are encouraged to participate in a leadership survey, which will be available through Wednesday, November 30. The feedback gained from the survey will assist the consultant and the board in creating a leadership profile for the search.

The board's goal is to conduct interviews in January and February and take action on the new superintendent's contract in March. He or she would assume duties on July 1, 2012.
