Hi Choir Department!

I am just reminding all of you about the Halloween Social next Friday, October 30th!  We are having a little raffle for some wicked awesome prizes for those who bring cans for the canned food drive.  The more you bring, the more likely you are to win something!  The prizes include (but are not limited to): A Bath & Bodyworks gift basket, tickets to a show at the Desert Star Playhouse, and a little donation from my dad, Dr. Scott Updyke DDS, to keep your teeth in check for after the Halloween candy feast!

Be ready to play some awesome games (and some awkward ones too...) and bring cans to support the Road Home and give back to your community :)


Scowls and Glares,

Jordyn Updyke

Dear Students, 

I wanted you to hear this from me and not through rumor. As most of you are aware I have been holding two full time jobs, here as a counselor, and the other at UVU. UVU has offered me an Endowed Professorship which happens very seldom at any university.  As hard as it is for me to do I have accepted this professorship and will be retiring from Hillcrest as of December 31. This has been a very hard decision for me.  Hillcrest is such an incredible place. Thank you for being a part of my life, I will truly miss you.

Mr. Winkelman
