It was in operation at the same time as McCune Home was. The basic of the place was a home for wayward girls. As McCune Home For Boys took in not only wayward and deliquent boys the same could be said for Hilltop. I remember going to school and seeing the bus come and drop the children off. It made announcement printed on the side instead of the usual Public School bus or Pace was the company...Pace Public School Transportation. It plainly read across the bus Hilltop School For Girls. I would think they would also take in children that did not have any home for any reason. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
