In 1984, Jim Dobson and Brodie Keene sold a portion of their land to Del Valle ISD to build a school for which Hillcrest Farms would be named after for donating land. Hillcrest Farms was one of the last dairies in town to use real cream.
In 1985, after a bond program enacted by Del Valle ISD, Del Valle residents voted for the school district to build a new elementary school. 1985 was the year Hillcrest Elementary School opened.
Hillcrest School (aka Hillcrest Elementary School) was named after the Hillcrest Farms. Hillcrest Elementary School was located on land Hillcrest Farms owned which is why the school has the name “Hillcrest”. The Hillcrest School sat in its original location from 1985 to 1998 on Crozier Lane right next to Baty Elementary School (aka Baty Elementary School).
Hillcrest Elementary School was relocated to William Cannon Road in Southeast Austin in 1998 due to the City Of Austin’s Airport Noise Mitigation Program which was responsible for relocating 6 Del Valle ISD schools in order for the ABIA Airport to be built and to operate.
In 1999 the school was demolished. 1999 was the year Hillcrest School relocated to William Cannon Drive in Austin, Texas. The school was once located in Del Valle, Texas and now located in Austin, Texas. Hillcrest Elementary School is owned and operated by Del Valle ISD.
All that is left of the old Hillcrest School is the parking lot where Travis County Fire Department parks their vehicles.
Today Hillcrest Elementary School is located at 6910 East William Cannon Drive, Austin, Texas, US 78744.
