History
Hillcrest High School opened its doors to students in the fall of 1962 as the third operating high school in the Jordan School District at the time. It is located on a 38-acre (150,000 m2) site approximately 12 miles (19 km) south of Salt Lake City. The school's football stadium lights were relocated from the old Bingham High School in Copperton, Utah.[4] Hillcrest underwent a construction job where they unveiled a new building in 2018.
