Hillside Public Schools

Hillside High School hosted its Back-to-School Night tonight (9/19/2023)! These photos capture only a percentage of the energy and amount of people within the High School building, thank you to the staff, administrators, students and parents! #hillsidenj #hillsidehighschool

Everyday at Hillside Public Schools is an adventure! There's always interesting, interactive learning taking place no matter where you go. A prime example is the Culture Day which took place at Ola Edwards Community School today! Students had a blast presenting about their home countries and cultures, bringing in props, and wearing attires from their country. Shoutout to Ms. Talari for hosting this fun activity for her students! #hillsidepublicschools #hillsidenj #olaedwardscommunityschool #cultureday #interactivelearning

We love to see our families doing math together! Thank you for participating in Back to School Night.

Our primary grade teachers engaged in learning about incorporating computer science into their lessons through our Amazon BootUp Initiative.

Shout out to Ms. Carriann DeSanto at Hillside High School, who received a Congratulatory letter from the President of the College Board! This letter thanks Ms. DeSanto for her work in helping to evaluate and score close to 5.2 million AP Exams, back in June 2023, alongside 23,000 other high school teachers and college faculty!

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 including our sister battalions-Irvington and Union High School. Our students stood out as they were in their JROTC uniforms, interacting with other schools and expressing their interest in joining the military! Thank you to Lieutenant Colonel Drakeford! #hillsidepublicschools #hillsidenj #westpointexperience #hillsidehighschool #jrotc #newarknj

Each year JROTC programs must conduct what is called a Service-Learning Project. Students are able to identify essential needs in their school or community and then decide on their approach. This year the JROTC program partnered with Hurden Looker Elementary School as they worked through their theme of Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies! JROTC students (periods 1-3) and Peer Leadership (period 4) explained the importance of nutrition and physical fitness to the elementary students, and also cheered from the sidelines to encourage all who participated! Great work, JROTC & Hurden Looker Elementary! #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #jrotc #hurdenlooker #servicelearning

Superintendent Glover, Supervisor Lisa Corona, and our middle school and high school math and science teachers experience virtual reality through @PrimsVR. We are excited to incorporate this technology into our student learning experiences.
