On September 13, 2023, six (6) Hillside High School JROTC cadets attended the West Point Experience hosted in Newark, NJ. In attendance were other local schools to include our sister battalions-Irvington and Union High School. I must say our students stood out as they were in their JROTC uniforms (looking sharp)!
The overall gathering was a great opportunity for our students to learn firsthand from a successful West Point graduate of color. CPT Wilfred Aoua, Diversity Admissions Officer, for the US Military Academy (USMA) spoke from his own experience both at West Point and the military. He shared the benefits of attending USMA, the opportunity it presents (academic and financial) and the process of applying to the Academy. In our group we had a senior, Steven Akli, that is very interested and exchanged information with the West Point representatives. All of the students were given materials about West Point and a few giveaways.
The Comets Opening Day football concession stand exploded! All the food, including Graham's famous fried hotdogs with fries, was super tasty. The Class of 2024 gives special thanks to the Hillside Alumni football fans and Bernardsville Fans, we were sold out at halftime!
