📢 OFFICIAL COMMUNITY NOTICE: SCHOOL CLOSURE 📢
Attention students, parents, and residents - Please be advised that all schools in the district will be CLOSED on Tuesday, June 2nd. We are observing this closure for two primary reasons:
Unused Snow Day - Because we did not exceed our weather-related emergency days this past winter, we are utilizing a "give-back" day.
Primary Election Day - Several of our school facilities will be serving as official polling locations. Closing schools ensures the safety of our students and provides easy access for community members to cast their votes. 🗳️
Normal schedules will resume on Wednesday, June 3rd.
Thank you for your cooperation and for participating in the democratic process!

🥎 500 WINS: A MILESTONE FOR THE AGES! 🥎
History was made on the diamond today! Huge congratulations to Cheryl Iaione for reaching her 500th career victory, becoming the first coach in Somerset County history to hit this incredible milestone.
To put this in perspective, 500 wins isn’t just a "good run" - it’s a masterclass in consistency, grit, and leadership.
🏆 In the Company of Legends
In the world of sports, names like Pat Summitt (Tennessee), Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), or Mike Candrea (Arizona Softball) are synonymous with excellence because they built cultures that outlasted generations of players.
Coach Iaione has done exactly that. Whether you are at a D1 powerhouse or on a high school field in New Jersey, winning at this level requires the same relentless DNA:
The longevity of a pro like Connie Mack.
The tactical mind of a Nick Saban.
The heart for the game that defines the greats.
While the record books will show "500," the real impact is measured in the hundreds of athletes she has mentored, the life lessons taught in the dugout, and the standard of excellence she set for Somerset County athletics.
"Good coaches win games; great coaches change lives."
Cheryl, thank you for showing us what excellence looks like. You’ve officially set the bar!

🥎 GUESS WHO’S BACK? 🥎
After a few seasons away from the top, the Hillsborough Raiders are officially reclaiming their throne! This team is playing with a level of dominance we haven't seen in years, and yesterday’s SCT Quarterfinal was the ultimate statement.
The Raiders (now 17-1!) shut out Franklin 4-0, proving that the powerhouse culture is alive and well in the Boro. 🏠💪
🌟 THE HEADLINER: Emma Anderson
Freshman phenom Emma Anderson is making sure everyone knows her name. She put on a masterclass in the circle, racking up a career-high 15 strikeouts!
🚫 No walks
🚫 Only ONE hit allowed
📈 New season high (surpassing her previous 14k mark)
📈 TOTAL TEAM EFFORT
The bats are back, too! Hillsborough pounded out 8 hits, led by Anna Antonelli (2-for-3, RBI double). Big-time RBI contributions from Alexis Carlisle, Julianna Sabo, and Addison Whitney provided all the cushion the Raiders needed to cruise into the next round.
THE ROAD TO THE TITLE CONTINUES:
The No. 13 ranked Raiders are headed to the SCT SEMIFINALS! We host Gill St. Bernard’s this Wednesday right here at home.
The energy is back. The dominance is back. Let’s go Boro! 🔴⚫️

🏈 BIG NEWS ON THE GRIDIRON! 🏈
Let’s hear it for our very own Scott Rourke! On the heels of his team's incredible run, Coach Rourke has officially been named the first New York Jets Girls’ Flag Football Coach of the Week of the 2026 season! 🏆
This is a massive honor and a testament to all the hard work, strategy, and heart he’s poured into the team. The girls are playing lights-out, and the league is clearly taking notice.
🤫 The "Secret" Play...
While we are celebrating this big win with the Green and White, we should probably mention one tiny detail Coach failed to disclose... He’s a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. 🤠⭐ (Feel free to comment below)
Don't worry, Coach.. as long as the wins keep coming, we'll keep the "How 'bout them Cowboys" talk on the sidelines.
Congratulations, Coach! We are so proud of you and can't wait to see where you lead the team next.

🚀 From Math Students to Game Architects! 🎮
Students in Ms. Mottley’s Algebra 1 class at HMS just took "leveling up" to a whole new height! Partnering with Tech Coach Ms. Mele, these students traded their standard worksheets for Generative AI to bridge the gap between abstract polynomials and interactive software design.
Here’s how they engineered their way to a win:
The Design Phase: Teams used a "Planning Blueprint" to brainstorm game hooks, pitching everything from deep-sea missions to galactic battles.
The Pitch Phase: After a high-stakes class vote, the winner was crowned: "Space Blaster." 🌌
The Build: This is where the math got real. The class authored 10 complex polynomial problems and collaborated with Gemini AI to build the game logic. They decided that mathematical accuracy would dictate the physics - correct answers earned "speed boosts," while errors resulted in "knockback" penalties! ⚡️
The Launch: Students embedded the AI-generated code into a Google Site, turning their classroom into a studio where they peer-tested a fully functional game they built from scratch.
By moving from passive consumers to active creators, these students proved that rigorous algebra and 21st-century computer science are the perfect power-up.
High-five to our student engineers for showing us how math moves! 👏💻📐

Students in Ms. Mottley’s Algebra 1 class at HMS just took "leveling up" to a whole new height! Partnering with Tech Coach Ms. Mele, these students traded their standard worksheets for Generative AI to bridge the gap between abstract polynomials and interactive software design.
