CRESTWOOD HIGHSCHOOL KEY CLUB:
Crestwood Key Club is hosting a Parents’ Night Out event, and we would greatly appreciate your help in sharing the attached flyer with your families.

Event: Key Club Parents’ Night Out
Date: Friday, December 12, 2025
Time: 5pm-7pm
Location: Crestwood High School, 1501 Beech Daly
Cost: $25 per child

Families are invited to drop off their PK–5th grade students for an evening of supervised games, crafts, and activities led by our trained Key Club student leaders and advisors.

The $25 event fee helps fund Key Club’s community service projects for the remainder of the school year, including service with seniors, donation initiatives, and student-led volunteer efforts across the Crestwood community.


Thank you so much for supporting Key Club as we continue building strong student leaders who serve our schools and community!

Hello Hillcrest Family, Bus Route 3 is running 15 minutes late today. Thank you,

At this time, our soft lockdown has been lifted, and normal operations have resumed. Dearborn Heights Police have given us the all-clear. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Good Day Crestwood Community. At this time, all Crestwood schools are in a soft lockdown, which means that no visitors will be allowed in the schools and students must remain in the school. This is a request from the Dearborn Heights Police. None of our schools or students are in danger and the matter is not related to our schools. We will update the community as more information becomes available.

We are back! Husky team is going on a "drive for student success"😊this school year🚘. We had a great professional development today and ready to start the year on a positive journey🚘.

Please read this important letter from Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy addressing county-wide incidents of school threats and violence.

Thank you to all of our Crestwood families who joined us for the 2025 Back-to-School Kickoff! Despite the rainy weather, the celebration was a tremendous success as we gathered inside Crestwood High School for an evening filled with pride. Families enjoyed free backpacks, books, and activities, while students had a blast with bounce houses, crafts, balloon animals, and more.
Live performances from the Crestwood Band, Robotics, and our DJ brought great energy, and Chargie the Mascot kept the excitement high! We even had a surprise visit from Scout, our therapy dog and our Dearborn Heights Police Department! With delicious food trucks and the chance to connect with community partners, it was the perfect way to launch the 2025–2026 school year.
Thank you to all of our Parent Organizations for sponsoring the bounce houses and United Way-Southeast Michigan and Cummins Inc in Dearborn for the backpack donations. We also could not have done without the support of our National Honor Society students and custodial and maintenance staff. We are so proud of our community spirit and thankful for everyone who came out to celebrate. Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!

Rain won’t stop us!
Our Back-to-School Kickoff is still happening—just moved inside Crestwood High School!
Join us Tuesday, August 19th from 5–8 PM (Sensory Hour 4–5 PM).
Let’s kick off the 2025–2026 school year with CSD pride!
