Anniversary LogoLaunching the anniversaryIn 2010 the school celebrates a double anniversary. The main school building is 100 years old and the school itself celebrates 70 years since its foundation in Bramhall. A number of events are planned to mark these occasions. There is a "Facebook" group set-up for former pupils of the school and its predecessors to share their memories: "Hillcrest Grammar School Memories".
