At the October 30th, 2024 Hillside Board of Education meeting, many Hillside High School students received awards and recognition! This summer, a group of high school students completed the Carpentry 1 Course, gaining hands-on experience in woodworking and construction. Throughout the course, they built various projects, including birdhouses, toolboxes, and bookshelves. Their hard work was officially recognized and stamped by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, ensuring the quality of their training meets industry standards. Moreover, these students have the unique opportunity to apply for college credit through Thomas Edison State University, advancing their education and career prospects. This course was made possible by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) Innovative Dual Enrollment Grant, which supports high school students in earning college credits while still in school. Thank you to Mrs. Tettey Lokko, the dedicated teacher who guided the students through this course and for her commitment to their success!
Also honored at the Board Meeting, were 4 student heroes! Last week 4 of our students:
Jorge Arturo Rojas Valverde, Licelys Melendez, Eva Vital, and Zara Quercini, witnessed an elderly woman crossing the street in medical distress. As the woman passed out the young scholars jumped into action, stopping traffic, calling the police, and making the woman more comfortable. These young people would not leave her side until law enforcement arrived. We salute their efforts and service!
Last but certainly not least, Hillside High School student, Harmony Reed, was recognized for her amazing work in the Write on Sports Program with Montclair State University! Hillside Public Schools couldn't be more proud of all of our scholars and the multitude of
positive acts and achievements they accumulate daily.

On October 17th, 2024, the Academic Decathlon team visited the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium in Fort Hancock! The team learned about the importance of marshes, how the dunes help maintain the shores and the history of Sandy Hook. The students went shad fishing, which is a technique the Lenape used, in the river and caught hermit crabs, pike fish, shrimp, snails, and other fish along the river! They were able to explore the ocean side to collect shells and rocks. The field guide explained some of the items the students gathered such as sea glass, razor clam shells, and even a full-sized horseshoe crab! This is all to prepare the team for this year’s competition, which focuses on the environment and Climate Change!

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!
