Hillside High School

Thank you to all those in attendance for "Hidden in Plain Sight" this past Saturday (5/09/2026)! Professor Douglas S. Collier of @monmouthuniversity 's Department of Criminal Justice Graduate Program presented in the Hillside High School Media Center! The goal of this event was to simulate a teenager's bedroom, in which several items have been placed that may indicate that the teen is using drugs or vaping. This informative event opened parent's and families' eyes to the reality of vape, and drug usage among young people, and asked the question "do you pay attention to what's inside your child's bedroom? Thank you to Hillside Public Schools District Student Assistance Coordinator Ms. Mullins for coordinating this event, thank you Principal Emenaka, Hillside Police Department Detective Mr. Antoine Brown and more! Shout out to Acting Superintendent Dr. Pérez, the Hillside Board of Education Members, Hillside Mayor Ms. Andrea Hyatt, Mr. McCoy, all the Hillside Public Schools staff and students present!
