Congratulations to the twenty-one Hillside High School seniors who have earned the New Jersey State Seal of Biliteracy! The award recognizes student proficiency in one or more languages in addition to English and highlights their linguistic and cultural diversity.
“This is a significant accomplishment for these young scholars, as it sets them apart from other students across the state of New Jersey,” said Erskine R. Glover, Superintendent of Schools. “Not only is it a great award to put on their resumes and college applications, but it also speaks to their status as multilingual members of our society who can use their voices to advocate for the diverse members of their community.”
“Communicating in more than one language is truly a superpower,” said Evelyn Okparaeke, the Director of ESL and World Languages for Hillside Public Schools. The full list of Hillside High School Senior names can be found in the news article published on hillsidek12.org as well as the article published by TAPinto Hillside!

Hillside High School's student council stood out among thousands nationwide for their innovative approach to community, school culture, and education. They employ the help of the Union County Board of Elections to create a meaningful voting experience for the students of Hillside High School as they elect their Student Council Officers. This is a unique method of engaging students in civics. A student council must meet a variety of criteria to earn the National [Gold] Council of Excellence Award. In addition to basic requirements such as a written constitution, regular meetings and a democratic election process, the councils must have demonstrated successful sponsorship and participation in activities such as leadership development and service to the school and community! Great work, and congratulations StuCo!
