WELCOME
65 years ago, Hilltop High School, home of the Lancers, opened its doors to the Chula Vista neighborhood, welcoming the student body and marked the beginning of a long reign of academic and athletic excellence. Hilltop is nestled in the heart of Chula Vista which features well-established neighborhoods, consisting of a mix of single-family homes and apartments. Hilltop is home to the Foreign Language and Global Studies program (FLAGS), two California Partnership Academies – Hospitality and Tourism and Information Technology. In 2021, Hilltop was designated as a California Distinguished School. Hilltop High is a modified year-round school with classes beginning in mid-July and ending in early June. Students attend a full schedule of classes every day.
