It was founded in 1970 as a segregation academy.[1] HistoryRacial SegregationHillcrest was established in 1970 as a segregation academy in response to the court ordered integration of public schools.[1] In 1985, W.J Simmons, chair of the state White Citizens Council, discussed the history of the school with Clarion-Ledger. Simons acknowledged that "Race was a motivating factor in the early days." Simmons also stated "admitting blacks lowers educational standards. Racial mixing is wrong when it's forced. And if it's not forced, it's not likely to occur."[2] In the same article, headmaster Gary McGee said that he didn't know if the Hillcrest Christian school would admit black students and that if a black student applied for entrance, the matter would need to discussed by the school's trustees.[2] CampusThe current campus was originally known as Council McCluer, which was a separate school opened the same year as Hillcrest. Council McCluer was part of a system of twelve schools in Jackson founded and run by the Citizens' Council of Jackson. For much of its early life, the school was located at Sykes Road and Wheatley Drive in south Jackson, and operated as a K-9 school. In 1985 the school merged with the McCluer Academy, another segregation academy.[3] The combined school used the former McCluer Academy campus on Siwell Road for the high school and middle school. The school ultimately moved all operations to that campus and sold the Wheatley property in the late 1990s following the construction of an elementary school building at the Siwell campus. EducationHillcrest educates pupils from kindergarten 3 to grade 12.[4] Ninety-five percent of the pupils are white and there is a 1:10 student:teacher ratio.[5]{{not in ref|date=May 2018}} Hillcrest Christian School has a variety of clubs and organizations.
