Hillcrest High School (Dallas)

The school opened in 1938 as Vickery Meadows High School. In 1945 it was renamed to Hillcrest High School. ==Campus==

The John McClamrock Stadium (previously Franklin Stadium), named after John McClamrock, is located at Hillcrest. In June 2011 the DISD board voted against renaming the stadium after McClamrock, but in 2025 the board voted for doing so. In fall 2019 a new addition with 22 classrooms, an administrative area, a competition gymnasium, a locker room, and a tornado shelter, along with renovations, are to be completed. == Neighborhoods served ==

Several Dallas communities such as portions of Preston Hollow (including a portion of Old Preston Hollow, Preston Hollow North, and Preston Hollow West), University Meadows, a small portion of Vickery Meadow, and a portion of Addison are zoned to Hillcrest. == Notable alumni ==
