Hillcrest High School was a high school in Thunder Bay, Ontario. It is part of the Lakehead District School Board system. The school was opened in 1928 as Port Arthur Technical School, and expanded several times in its history. The school's teams are named "Hillcrest Colts".

The school was designed by C.D. Howe & Co. The first principal was W.A. McWilliams. The first classes were held January 7, 1929.[1]

In 2007, students from Port Arthur Collegiate Institute were relocated to Hillcrest High School when their school closed. In the fall of 2009 Hillcrest closed and the student body was relocated to the new Superior Collegiate and Vocational Institute.

In 2011, Hillcrest High School was purchased by the Thunder Bay Centre of Change and was transformed into a collaborative business environment.
