Hillgrove offers a great environment - disciplined, yet creative and fun to offer students an enjoyable environment to learn. Administrators and teachers are caring and committed. The sports programs are generally competitive, and there is a wide variety of extra-curricular activities for nearly any student interest. There is racial diversity and respect, and much less negative influences than many other local schools. Would recommend Hillgrove High to any prospective Marietta / Powder Springs parent.
