On Saturday, January 27, 2024, the Hillside High School Academic Decathlon team participated in the Regional Competition against multiple schools from central New Jersey. The team has been studying the concept of technology as seen in different fields, such as Literature, Science, and Economics. The event consists of seven multiple-choice tests, a speech, an essay, and an interview. To prepare, the team bonded on Thursday and Friday by taking practice tests, practicing interview and speech skills, and learning from one another. A special thank you to Mr. Emenaka for tutoring the team in Geometry and Differential Calculus. We also would like to thank our teachers Ms. Agoglia, Mrs. Tenreiro, Ms. Ullrich, and Mrs. Young for volunteering their time on Saturday to help judge the competition! The team will get the results later in the week!
