On Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024, Hillside High School students enrolled in the dual enrollment class with NJIT, Forensics Science (FRSC) 201, participated in a "Forensics Science Day on Campus" event! Students participated in two mock crime scenes and investigated the "crimes" by doing an initial intake, sketching, note-taking, and collecting and preserving evidence. Afterward, students took a scavenger hunt-style tour of the campus and visited the AR/VR lab where they interacted further with virtual crime scenes! Back in the classroom, students worked together to document their work in a crime scene report! Great work Hillside High School scholars!

"From June 26th-June 30th, 2024 the JETS Club at Hillside High School participated in the National TSA Conference in Orlando, Florida. The conference sessions boosted students' critical thinking skills, by engaging them in a design/build challenge, multiple-choice exam, and presentation. The experience strengthened students' confidence in STEM and enhanced teamwork skills. With a focus on solving complex problems together, participants tackled the exciting theme of "Engineering Another World,” looking at problem-solving techniques, time management, and planning strategies."
Our JETS Club scholars were honored last night at the September 26th, 2024 board meeting by Superintendent Glover, Ms. Ebong, and the Hillside Board of Education!
