Founded in 1958 by Rabbi Jacob Segal and leaders of the Detroit Jewish community, Hillel Day School began with a handful of students and has grown into a thriving educational institution and hub for Jewish life serving preschool through eighth grade. Dr. Darin Katz serves as the Head of School. Hillel’s mission is to “inspire a passion for learning, responsibility to self and community, and devotion to Jewish living in a warm, innovative, and engaging environment.” Located in Farmington Hills, Hillel competes with multiple esteemed private independent schools, as well as some of the nation’s top public school districts.
