Sharing words from our♥️♥️Executive Director, Katie Eska.

Good afternoon, Hillcrest Feeder Pattern!
Serving as the Executive Director for the Hillcrest Vertical Team has been one of the greatest honors of my professional career. Having the opportunity to come back to where I started as a Principal here in DallasISD has been an enormous privilege. As a personal member of our community, I know firsthand the extraordinary commitment, resilience, potential, and excellence that define us.
As we look ahead to the upcoming school year, I will be transitioning to serve as Executive Director for the North Dallas Feeder Pattern. While I am excited for this next chapter, leaving the Hillcrest community is bittersweet. The relationships built with our students, families, educators, staff, and community partners have made this experience deeply meaningful, and I will always carry immense pride in being a Panther.
The Hillcrest Vertical Team is made up of truly exceptional leaders, passionate educators, and supportive families who consistently place students at the center of every decision. These collective strengths ensure that the future of Hillcrest remains incredibly bright. I am confident the work we have started together will continue to thrive, and our community will build upon its strong tradition of excellence.
Thank you for your trust, partnership, and support throughout my time serving this remarkable community. It has truly been a privilege to walk alongside you in this work. I look forward to cheering on the continued success of the Hillcrest Vertical Team and all the incredible achievements still to come.
One Voice. One Vision. One Heartbeat. One Hillcrest!
With gratitude and appreciation,
Katie Eska
