Welcome back, Hillside Public Schools students! On January 3rd, 2024, faculty and staff returned to the district to participate in professional development activities. Hillside Public Schools staff are dedicated to being prepared and ready to return to the classroom, to provide our students with a world-class education. The following photos were taken during a professional development held at W.O.K. Middle School for Hillside Public Schools Principals and Vice-Principals!

Hillside Public Schools staff and faculty filled the Hillside High School auditorium on the morning of January 3rd, 2024! Our Hillside professionals were treated to an astonishing presentation led by Mr. Abran Maldonado, leading Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) expert, ChatGPT, and OpenAI Ambassador! Mr. Maldonado introduced Hillside Public Schools staff to recent wonders in A.I. that can be utilized to revolutionize instruction within the classroom! Superintendent Glover delivered a motivational, inspiring speech before introducing Abran Maldonado to the stage. The Hillside Public Schools staff loved the presentation, it was the perfect way to commence the second half of the school year.
