On Saturday, March 14th, Hillcrest Academy in Temecula honored State Senator Jeff Stone


as this year’s “Hillcrest Hero” at their annual Gala and Auction. This was the inaugural Hillcrest Hero award, presented to a community leader who embodies Hillcrest Academy’s values of Academics, Character and Leadership. In attendance with Senator Stone and his wife Regina were Riverside County Supervisor Chuck Washington and his wife Kathy and Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards. The event took place at Pechanga Resort and Casino’s Grand Ballroom with 215 guests in attendance. Senator Stone’s children, Jason and Brittany, attended Hillcrest Academy, and Senator


Stone shared how the educational foundation they received at Hillcrest prepared them for suc- cess later in life. Jason was the Valedictorian of his 8th grade graduating class at Hillcrest Acad- emy. Four years later, Jason was recognized as the Valedictorian at Temecula Valley High School, going on to graduate from law school. Brittany lived abroad in Paris after graduating from UC San Diego. Senator Stone said the daily French lessons she learned at Hillcrest Acad- emy served her well. Senator Stone’s remarks as honoree capped an evening of casino-style table games, din-


ner, live and silent auction, and dancing at Hillcrest Academy’s “Casino Royale” event. The an- nual Gala helps fund the enhanced academic programs at the school, including fine arts, foreign language, and P.E.
