On September 13, 2023, six (6) Hillside High School JROTC cadets attended the West Point Experience hosted in Newark, NJ! In attendance were other local schools including our sister battalions-Irvington and Union High School. Our students stood out as they were in their JROTC uniforms, interacting with other schools and expressing their interest in joining the military! Thank you to Lieutenant Colonel Drakeford!

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!
