Background

Hillcrest School traces its roots back to 1850 when the City of Cincinnati opened a school for delinquent boys and girls. When the city ran into financial issues running the separate boys and girls schools, the Hamilton County Welfare Board and Cincinnati Public Schools jointly took over in the late 1930s. In the late 1970s, a new facility was built and the Hamilton County Juvenile Court took over authority.
