Hillwood High School is currently being used for multiple purposes, including graduation ceremonies, athletics, professional learning and development space, as well as an emergency backup location should there be a need (like the former Gra-Mar Middle School). This is considered the Home field location for two high schools, (Hume Fogg and MLK) for several of their sports. We are also preparing the school as a use for support hub offices that are needed in service to schools in the area.
We are slated to open a small two classroom early learning center (Pre-Kindergarten), pending final Board approval, in the 2026-27 school year and have a plan in our Capital Improvement Budget for a larger early learning center subject to future city investment.
We have also identified this location as a potential temporary site for a future West Meade Elementary replacement, should funding be allocated by the city. West Meade Elementary is currently in Year 1 of the Capital Improvement Budget, meaning it is eligible for funding as soon as resources become available, while recognizing there are limited funds and competing priorities in any Capital Spending Plan.
While we value input from residents, we do not have plans to dispose of the property or discontinue its use. The site continues to serve several important needs for both the district and the community. This information has been shared at Board meetings [youtube.com]. At this time, we do not have a community meeting planned, as we are not currently soliciting ideas or proposals for alternative uses or disposal of the site.
Thanks,
Sean Braisted
