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.

This past week, Deanna G. Taylor (DGTA)Academy acknowledged Red Ribbon Week with a few special activities and events! 6th-grade students participated in the door-decorating contest picking two movies (Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Hocus Pocus) to acknowledge the "Life is a Movie, Film Drug Free" theme. Scholars also partook in an essay writing contest! DGTA's National Elementary Honor Society students worked together for their Plant a Promise Service Project, in which they planted 100 red tulip bulbs that will bloom in the spring and serve as a physical reminder of the beauty of a drug-free life! Scholars were also treated to an exciting visit from our friendly neighborhood Spiderman, who visited for a school-wide Red Ribbon assembly in which students were taught about the history of Red Ribbon Week and reminded of the importance of living drug-free!
