Hillcrest Lutheran Academy is a private Christian junior high and boarding high school in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Established in 1916, Hillcrest has a strong affiliation with the Church of the Lutheran Brethren of America. Hillcrest is sometimes referred to as HLA or the "Castle on the Hill."
Hillcrest's mission is "to provide a quality academic, social and extracurricular experience which challenges students to think critically and examine topics through the lens of God’s Word."
Hillcrest holds accreditation as a non-public high school through the Minnesota Nonpublic School Accrediting Association (MNSAA).
Hillcrest occupies an historic building constructed in 1901 by the Norwegian Lutheran Synod to house the Park Region Luther College. The four-story red brick and sandstone building, located on a hilltop overlooking the city, is in the Romanesque Revival style and was designed by Twin Cities architects Omeyer and Thori, who also designed educational buildings at St. Olaf College, courthouses in Windom and Ada, and the E.J. Webber house and Ole Hagen's Autograph Block in Fergus Falls. Its construction, supervised by contractor John Lauritzen, required all of the brick masons available in the area. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
