My name is Christy Brown and this is my 7th year as Principal at Hilltop. I am a McHenry native and Hilltop, Parkland, and MCHS graduate.  I have moved back to McHenry where I live with my Maltipoo, Finn, and my partner, Michael.  I enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephews, traveling, reading, and hiking.  It has been a dream come true to return home and lead the Hilltop community!

I found my passion for education through a non-traditional path.  I have an undergraduate degree from Illinois Wesleyan University in Sociology and Human Services Management.  After college, I worked in social service and community mental health while earning a Master's Degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago.  I worked as a school social worker and enjoyed mentoring new staff, leading IEP meetings, solution-finding difficult situations, and working in the school setting where I was able to support many children and families.  I continued on to earn a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Aurora University.  I then transitioned to administration which I have been enjoying for the past 12 years of my 22 years in education.  It is my joy and honor to serve the teachers, families, and students at Hilltop!

I am one of the secretaries here at Hilltop. I started here in 1999, starting as the Health Assistant for 2 years and then became secretary.  I have lived in McHenry since 1987.  I am married and have 2 adult children.  I like to make cards and try new craft ideas.  I love working at Hilltop.  

Hi, My name is Trisha Stewart. I was raised in Crystal lake, Illinois and have lived in Mchenry for the past 7 years with my husband and 2 children. I have a 9  year old daughter who attends Duker and a 5 year old son who attends Hilltop. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and working out.

My name is Katlyn Lindaur and I am so lucky to be the nurse at Hilltop! I am a McHenry native and former D15 student myself. When I'm not at work I love spending time with my husband, 3 year old son, 1 year old daughter and our mischievous golden retriever.
