Dear Hill Community,

Thank you to everyone who supported our recent food drive benefiting Hope Austin. Hill families donated 1,800 food units to help local families in need! Hope Austin supports our families weekly so we appreciate you all for this generosity.

We would love to see everyone there at Great Hills Country Club. Be sure to check out hillelementary.com and the Dillo Details for information leading up. Get your tickets today at the link and check out the many events of the night, including a long drive/closest to the pin competition, silent auction, and raffle!

Based on the calendar, Hill will begin forming our Campus Architectural Team at the beginning of 2024 with work to begin in 2025 for our Phase 2 modernization project. We look forward to communicating more on the process in the future.

Have an excellent end to your February and great start to March!
