This past Monday, December 9th, 2024, the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest took 45 Hillside High School students, along with Ms. Agoglia, Mr. Colon, Mr. Gelowitz, and Ms. Ullrich to Washington, D.C. to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial! In addition to speaking with the daughter/granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, a select few were even allowed to meet and talk with a survivor from Auschwitz and may be featured on an NBC special commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz! Students were able to learn and discuss antisemitism and then compare it to the racial discrimination during Dr. King's time and now. #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #holocaustmuseum #memorial #martinlutherking #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities

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. #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #hillsidehighschool #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities

Students expressed their interest in politics, and discussed specific topics such as healthcare, climate change, and education policy! Students also participated in an activity where they provided questions they would ask the 2024 Presidential candidates if they had the opportunity! The Hillside High School student voices forum was insightful, fun, and engaging!
