On Earth Day, Hillcrest High School hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate Hillcrest’s achievement of being recognized as an arboretum. Hillcrest is the second high school in the state of Illinois to earn the prestigious status of becoming an arboretum.
Over the past five years, the Hillcrest High School Ecology Club, under the guidance of educator Theresa Kelsey, has worked tremendously hard to transform the Hillcrest High School campus into a thriving ecosystem, one tree at a time. In those five years, the ecology club has planted over 60 trees on campus.
In order to receive arboretum status, the ecology club had to plant 25 different species of native trees or shrubs on school grounds. Additionally, each tree must be tagged and identified with either an electric system or physical tag. There are 43 different species of trees at Hillcrest, and 101 tagged trees on campus.
In addition to the ribbon cutting, Hillcrest High School planted a new tree in honor of the late Marshawn Mitchell, a beloved student of our Hillcrest High School community. A memorial plaque was placed in front of the tree in his honor. The tree also marks the 25th species on campus.
“May this tree serve as a symbol of hope, renewal, and the enduring legacy of Marshawn, and those who have dedicated themselves to the noble cause of environmental conservation,” Principal Towner said.
