Hillside Computer Class

I apologize to anyone looking for older projects from Hillside students. The computer lab was updated in 2009 with Mac Computers and then in 2012 the Hillside High.org website was discontinued. The projects on this page are samplings of work that HHS students have done over the past few years.

Hillside High Harlem Shake Videos

With the craze of the Harlem Shake, the student body of Hillside High decided to get involved in the movement. It was on this day that I began the saga of hurting my Achilles tendon. (Mr. Connor) It was a fun craze that swept the country and our student population was willing to participate in it!

Glogal Warming?

Long-term change in global tropical cyclone frequency. (Geophysical Research Letters)

In contrast to talk about climate change spawning more hurricanes — that more hurricane strikes will be the “new normal” — the actual global count of tropical storms and hurricanes decreased in their study from an average of 83 during the last 30 years of the 19th century to 59.6 during the last 30 years of the 21st century.
We can conclude, then, that science tells us three things about climate and hurricanes:

• There is no discernible effect on present activity by climate change
• There will probably be fewer hurricanes in a warmer world
• The very strongest storms may get a bit stronger in a warmer world
