Hillbrook School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Founded in 1935, Hillbrook School is an independent accredited coeducational JK-8 day school in Los Gatos, Santa Clara County, California. Hillbrook, originally known as the Children's Country School, began in a modest, two-story house in Monte Sereno, but soon moved to the Colonel James "Happy" Parker estate at 300 Marchmont Drive, Los Gatos[1]. The school's founders were Mary Orem, Elizabeth Glassford, Nathalie Wollin, and Ann Boge. Hillbrook once extended as far as Shannon and Kennedy Roads to the North and South, though the property has since been subdivided to create the current 15 acre campus. A boarding school during its earliest years, Hillbrook became a day school in 1960, at which point the TCCS name was dropped. Robin Clements was headmaster from 1976-97, and the current head of school Sarah Bayne appointed in 1998. There are approximately 315 students.
