Hillside High School

Shout out to Hillside High School scholar, Harmony Reed! Through Hillside Public Schools' 2024 summer programs, Harmony had the privilege of attending the Write on Sports (WoS) program held at Montclair State University @montclairstateu. She excelled throughout the course & exemplified herself as a bright & articulate student with tons of potential. Not only did Harmony's teachers at Write on Sports invite her back next year, but they also chose Harmony to be a presenter at the Write on Sports Annual Awards Banquet held on October 9th, 2024! Harmony was introduced by the well-known sports legend, Peter King. She also had the honor of giving a speech & presenting the 2024 Literacy Champion Award to CBS sports commentator Ian Eagle! Harmony and her family were given the opportunity to dine & converse with these legends & their families as well as network with several others. Great work Harmony, Hillside Public Schools, Montclair State University, and thank you to the Write on Sports Program! @writeonsports #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #montclairstateuniversity #writeonsports #hillsidehighschool #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities

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! #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #forensics #njit #vr #virtualreality #newpride #newpride #newpossibilities

"From June 26th-June 30th, 2024 the JETS Club at Hillside High School participated in the National TSA Conference in Orlando, Florida. The conference sessions boosted students' critical thinking skills, by engaging them in a design/build challenge, multiple-choice exam, and presentation. The experience strengthened students' confidence in STEM and enhanced teamwork skills. With a focus on solving complex problems together, participants tackled the exciting theme of "Engineering Another World,” looking at problem-solving techniques, time management, and planning strategies." Our JETS Club scholars were honored last night at the September 26th, 2024 board meeting by Superintendent Glover, Ms. Ebong, and the Hillside Board of Education! #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #stem #boardofeducation #newpride #newpathways #newpossibilities #jetsclub
