As part of the 2023 Bond, Hillside Academy for Excellence is being replaced by a brand new, state-of-the-art elementary school. In this video, you will see some of the demolition and architectural renderings of plans for the new school.
During construction, Hillside students are being housed at the former Centerville campus.
Once the new replacement elementary building is completed, students from both Hillside and Kimberlin Academies will move to the new facility. The new building will open as Kimberlin Academy for Excellence, keeping the name that honors the legacy of Garland resident Harriet Kimberlin. It's intended that the Hillside name, based on the old campus neighborhood, will be retired.
