Hillside Public Schools

Twenty-five students from Hillside High School-Junior Officers' Reserve Training Corps (JROTC) and Peer Leadership classes, participated in a community service project at the Community Foodbank of New Jersey in Hillside, on October 27th. During this trip, students packaged over 1,000 bags of pasta to help alleviate hunger and poverty in the community. The students are looking forward to future projects and opportunities! Great work guys @hillsideajrotc! #hillsidenj #hillsidehighschool #jrotc #givingback #foodbank #community

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.
