Hillcrest High School (Country Club Hills, Illinois)
Hillcrest High School is a public four year high school located in Country Club Hills, Illinois. It is part of Bremen High School District 228 which also includes Tinley Park High School, Oak Forest High School, and Bremen High School.
The name "Hillcrest" aside from the obvious connotation of being "the highest point of a hill", is a portmanteau of the two towns which the school primarily serves: Country Club ''Hills'' and Hazel ''Crest''.
==History==
The first principal of Hillcrest, William Henry Reeves, was appointed in May 1965, leaving his job as principal of Bremen High School to start the new school.〔(''Reeves to head Hillcrest High'', 27 May 1965, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. S11; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕 Groundbreaking took place in November of that year, with a needed bond referendum passing in December 1966 to cover construction of an addition, even before the school was opened.〔(''Begin work on school'', 21 November 1965, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. S1; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕〔(Elliott, Michael, ''Bremen Schools Seek a Tax Levy Increase'', 20 November 1966, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. R1; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕〔(''Bremen voters OK 1.9 million school bonds'', 5 December 1966, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. 2; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕 The school opened in February 1967.〔(''Bremen District Hires 11 Teachers, 7 July 1968, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. S2; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕
The early 1970s at Hillcrest saw a number of racially motivated incidents as the demographics of the school's attendance area began to shift. A late April 1970 incident, coupled with similar incidents in other local schools led to the spread of attacks beyond the school to the local community of Markham.〔(''12 Suspended at Hillcrest High School'', 24 April 1970, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. 7; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕〔(''Markham hit by 2nd night of race turmoil'', 1 May 1970, ''Chicago Tribune'' p. 18; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕 In 1971, the school was temporarily closed after a racially motivated fight that resulted in 48 students being suspended.〔(''3 Hurt in Hillcrest High Fight: Hyde Park Boycott Continues'', 22 May 1971, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. 2; accessed 2008 )〕 1973 saw a 14 May riot that resulted in 34 suspensions and the recommendation for 20 expulsions. When the school board, under pressure from parents, decided to rescind some of the punishments without consulting the building staff or administration, the school's principal, Lee Cox, requested reassignment.〔(Lannon, Linnea, ''Integrated schools; Racial tensions: a ritual of spring No.2 -- Integrated schools Suburbs find trouble in classrooms'', 31 May 1973, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. W_A1; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕〔(''Hillcrest unrest leaves question'', 21 June 1973, ''Chicago Tribune''lie, p. W_A6; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕
In 1990, the FBI investigated an incident involving several students from the school who claimed they had been harassed by a Forest Preserve officer while taking a day off from school illegally. Among those counseling parents at the time was R. Eugene Pincham.〔(Copeland, Monica, ''FBI to probe police brutality charges'', 14 June 1990, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. 1; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕〔(Koziol, Ronald, ''Students found innocent in 'ditch day' disturbance'', 26 July 1990, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. 4; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕
In February 1994, the school cancelled planned parent-teacher conferences and a day off of school to accommodate a visit by President Bill Clinton. Students were banned from parking at the school that day to accommodate the president's helicopter, Marine One, landing in the parking lot. The visit coincided with the Brady Bill becoming law.〔(Rubin, Bonnie Miller, ''No School, but when the White House called'', 25 February 1994, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. 1; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕〔(Elsner, David, ''Anti-crime theme echoes at Hillcrest'', 1 March 1994, ''Chicago Tribune'', p. 1; accessed 31 August 2008 )〕
As of 2012, 97.8% of the student population is African-American.〔(2007 Illinois School Report Card for Hillcrest High School; accessed 19 September 2008 )〕
