Hillview Junior High School held a farewell prom for alumni as it prepares for demolition to make way for a new campus, funded by Measure N. The original school opened in 1958 and is due for upgrades, including new facilities to enhance education. Many alumni shared fond memories while expressing readiness for the change, emphasizing the need for modernization. Construction of the new site began in November 2023, with plans for completion in the following year, promising a fresh educational environment for future generations.
"Our three girls attended this school, two older ones graduated, and our third daughter is graduating this year. While I'm sad to see the school go, I think it's about time we have an upgraded school similar to other cities."
"I have never met them until I got to this school, and seeing all of them grow into adulthood was great."
"A lot of memories I didn't know I had, now it feels like it's coming back to me. I remember my classes and the people I went to school with."
"Changes are part of life, and while it's emotional to say goodbye, we're ready for a new chapter in education."
