Why is the first hill of a roller coaster always the highest hill?

This is due to the fact that it needs enough Kinetic Energy (KE) to make it to the end of the ride, also by having the highest peak at the start of the ride it gives enough KE to carry on going fast throughout the rest of the ride (due to the fact that none of the other hills after the first hill are bigger)
