Sports

Hillcrest has a long history of success in sports. The school has won numerous boys' rugby, basketball and hockey championships. The senior boys' rugby team was considered the top in the city, years 2006–08. The junior basketball team was considered the top in the city in the year 2008–09. Hillcrest's varsity girls' hockey team claimed the tier 2 championship, two years in a row 08-09 and 09–10. Also notable is their track team's long history of success at the city and provincial levels. In the past, players on the Ottawa 67's attended Hillcrest during the season (prior to changes to the cross-boundary transfer process).

Allegations

In June 2022, a petition was circulated to remove the principal over allegations of racism.[3] The Principal and other teaching staff were alleged to have singled-out Black and Arab students for discipline, including monitoring washrooms for vaping, subjecting them to searches, and following procedures set by the board for mandatory police contact. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board have stated that an investigation into these allegations is ongoing.
