Hands down the best public school in Prince William William county!! My daughter entered Hylton as an EMR/Special Needs student. The Administrators and Staff set high goals early on for her and she met each and every one with flying colors. She graduated this past June 2011 and is now pursuing a degree in Health Information Managment. Mrs. Custard was able to successfully connect with her students, their parents as well as her staff; she is a rare gem indeed. My only regret is that my youngest daughter will not have the pleasure of entering Hylton student under her leadership. Go Bulldogs!!

Our child really enjoyed her freshman year. She continued to excell in academics, clubs, chorus and sports. We were very impressed with Principal Custard from day one and wish her success in her new job. The excellent three-way communication from teacher to parent and student kept us informed daily. We look forward to another great year filled with school spirit.

My son graduated from Hylton in 2005 and went on to complete college with honors in 2009. My daughter is a student there now. I think the best guage of a school is do the kids want to be there and the answer is a resounding yes. Why, because it's safe, the Principal walks the talk and her staff are aligned with her. Students are held accountable and they are challenged daily.

Hylton is a wonderful school. Strict, yes, but that is why it is a great school. Mrs. Custard keeps the student under control. There is not another school that I would want my children to go to. It is safe, the staff is wonderful and caring. Teachers care about the students and their education. My children came out a better person. Both of my children had Dennis Brown for band and marching band and I could not think of a better person to have taught them music and things about life. Hylton is an awesome school and I rate it superior. Keep up the good work Mrs. Custand. You are great.

As a recent graduate from C.D. Hylton High School I can't be more proud of the education I received there. Mrs. Carolyn Custard is strict but fair, always willing to listen to everyone and make the most of any situation. The teachers there run the gambit of the good to bad scale, but many of my past teachers were amazing. While any school has some bad teachers Hylton always puts her best foot forward. The student body at Hylton is diverse and well rounded. One thing I'm proud of the school is how much they get students involved with afterschool programs. No matter what you like as a student, there is something for you. The students themselves are wonderful. I never felt threatened or less than others. The CISL program is great and helps students in numerous ways. If you are looking for a school in Prince William county, stop by.

I am a freshman at Hylton. The school is awesome. The teachers work hard to help you. The upperclassmen help you not push you around. I am in the CISL (Center for International Study of Languages) program it is a great program that guides you in the right direction to get you into college and have fun as well. Hylton is a great place to be and I'm glad I transferd there from my base scholl Garfield.

The students are passionate, active in their community and school, and the principal is an excellent example of school spirit. The CISL program is an incredible experience that inspires students to take more AP classes, and to immerse themselves into other cultures through travel, exchange programs, and language requirements. The school is safe, there aren't many problems between students, and the staff is friendly.

I had two students to attend C. D. Hylton! Go Bulldogs! One son graduated in 2005 and a daughter in 2007, but she was suppose to graduate in 2008. She finished in three years. The school has great administration and awesome commaderie and teamwork. The Principal is great as well! A real leader. I can't wait until my six grader gets to be a Bulldog!
