Hilltop Heritage Elementary opened for the first time in August of 2023 for the 2023-2024 school year. Renton’s newest elementary school was made possible thanks to overwhelming voter support in the 2019 School Construction Election measure. Population growth and the many new construction projects led to the need for additional classroom capacity for elementary school students. 

Hilltop Heritage is now home to 580+ learners in the Highlands areas of Renton. Our school community is grounded in our RISE Expectations where students, staff, families, and guests are committed to creating a Responsible, Inclusive, Safe, and Engaged environment for learners. We position students positively and powerfully, enact teaching practices grounded in research and knowledge of our learners, design classrooms and instruction for equitable learning, disrupt systems of oppression, and disrupt deficit language and perspective. Our current instructional lens focuses on content and social-emotional learning connections, student talk across content, and using data to inform instruction.
