On January 13, 2023, during the Hillside Public School District's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of celebration, A Day of Service Drive was occurring in the Hillside High School cafeteria! Students from Hillside Innovation Academy, W.O.K. Middle School, and Hillside High School assembled to sort items and build care packages. The entire Hillside community supported this initiative. All schools in our district, the Hillside Education Association, and the AT&T pioneers generously donated socks, scarves, hats, gloves, combs, and brushes to create care packages for the homeless! On January 24, 2024, Hillside High School students will partner with Berniece's Place to hand out care packages at the Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless Annual Service Fair. This event was organized by Superintendent Glover, Ms. Harris, Ms. Powell, Vice-Principals Rosalind Bartholomew and Obinna Emenaka, and the A.P. African American Studies class.
