Greetings Redwing Families,


Congratulations to Mr. Kinnear and the entire cast of “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” for their magnificent performance this past weekend. The audience was entertained with singing, dancing, and humor for two hours. Well done!


Last night was the fourth annual student council induction ceremony. With over 40 new inductees, and 80 existing members, we have grown our council to over 120 students. Congratulations to Mr. Munoz and the officers of the student council on getting students involved.


It has been a quiet week as we are in between our fall and winter sports seasons. That ends after our Thanksgiving Break as practices start up. Please see the athletics tab below on how to join a winter sport.


Wishing everyone a very happy and health Thanksgiving.


All the best,

The Coolidge Scholarship

The Coolidge Scholarship is a full-ride, four-year, merit scholarship that may be used by recipients for undergraduate study at any accredited college or university in the United States. Any current high school junior who plans to enroll in college in the fall of 2026 and is an American citizen or legal permanent resident is eligible to apply (current high school seniors are not eligible to apply). Winners may use the scholarship to pursue any academic major. Academic excellence is the primary criterion considered by the Coolidge Scholarship. Secondary criteria include an interest in public policy and an appreciation of the values President Coolidge championed. Successful candidates will also demonstrate humility and have a record of genuine service to their communities. A complete description of the scholarship’s criteria is available here.


DEADLINE TO APPLY: Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at 5:00 PM Pacific time


Alert: the application requires that candidates read President Coolidge’s Autobiography and complete a few other reading assignments. While the book is not overly long, we encourage students to begin the application early. Candidates who begin the application at the last minute are unlikely to be successful.

Field Trips


Montclair State University

On Friday, November 15th, a group of students visited Montclair State University for the National Hispanic College Fair. This fair was specifically designed to meet the needs of all students and help them navigate through the college application process. The students were able to briefly view the campus and student life at a glance while cruising through the streets of the Little Falls location.



College and Career Preparation for Seniors


Brag Sheets

All seniors, especially those applying to four year schools, should be completing a Brag Sheet about yourself that I have linked here. The information you provide will be helpful for your recommenders (and for me too since I write a letter for each of you as well). Please be as honest and thoughtful in your responses. This is your time to literally "brag" about yourselves so please do not be shy or reserved about your accomplishments and goals!


Letters of Recommendation

If you have not done so already, please make sure you are using the first few weeks of school to speak with teachers about writing a recommendation letter for college. Most schools will request two letters, so think about the teachers that know you the best and who might have taught subjects you could be interested in pursuing in college.


Narrowing the College Search

Some students may have a list of colleges already while others are still considering the right fits. I have a sheet (click here for it) that will hopefully allow students to:

  • Compare colleges that you are interested in by looking at key decision-making factors such as GPA requirements, standardized test scores (if necessary), school demographics, acceptance rate, and your personal opinions. My recommendation is to print out the PDF sheet and look it over with your family who I have also copied on this email. You can research and write down the key factors that call out to you. There is only space for seven colleges to compare, but of course you are welcome to look at and eventually apply to more schools should you wish.

  • Take advantage of resources/websites that have been created to help students filter down their college search based on a variety of factors. Through the PDF linked above, you can click on the hyperlinks for six different resources that have tools to assist with the college search process. Feel free to browse through each of them and find the one(s) you feel most comfortable with based on the information presented or the website interface itself.

  • Go on a virtual tour! I'm aware of how challenging it can be to visit schools, especially if you are considering schools further away. I've provided three resources that you can click on for virtual tours of campuses and to see the various facilities. It may not replicate an in-person visit, but it can certainly help if traveling for visits isn't feasible.


What About Paying for College?

Even though the official application for federal aid (the FAFSA) won't be available until October 1st, you can still take steps to prepare for the cost of college.

Click here for a breakdown I created of what specifically can be done now to prepare students and families to complete the FAFSA in October. It is important that you understand what documents you will need to make the application as seamless as possible.

Click here for more information on the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF), which is a program for New Jersey residents with financial need who commit to attending a college or university in New Jersey.


Alternatives to College

A great deal of information that our Guidance department shares is related to the college search because it can be a timely and fairly detailed process. However, there are also many opportunities for students who wish to pursue opportunities after graduation that don't involve a two-year or four-year college. If you feel that you are in this position, and some of you have shared with me that you are, then there are many avenues that you can pursue after graduation.

Click here for a U.S. News & World Report article that does a nice job detailing the variety of potential options for students after high school.

Click here for a detailed look at vocational technical schools in New Jersey that operate adult postsecondary programs. These programs have agreed to meet the criteria developed by the Office of Career Readiness within the NJ Department of Education.

ELA ELA

Ms. Malenda

In ELA III our study of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, has allowed students to explore several key themes, historical contexts, and literary elements. They’ve gained insight into Historical Context and Parallels. Students examined the Salem witch trials of 1692 as a historical event and its parallels to elements of modern society, fostering critical thinking about fear, power, and societal pressures. Discussion focused on themes such as integrity, mass hysteria, reputation, and the consequences of false accusations. Students reflected on how these ideas remain relevant in today’s world. By analyzing the motivations and actions of characters like John Proctor, Abigail Williams, and Reverend Hale, students developed their ability to evaluate complex characters and moral dilemmas. Students engaged in group discussions, debates, and writing assignments, developing their communication, analytical, and essay-writing skills. By studying The Crucible, students have deepened their understanding of literature’s power to illuminate historical and human truths, while strengthening their critical thinking and analytical skills.

Ms. Schneider

In Ms. Schneider’s English I class, students researched past experiences of Native Americans who were required to attend boarding schools, some through the 1970’s, and how these experiences shaped their lives and their communities. Students also learned about current life on the Pine Ridge Reservation through a documentary, where they explored recurrent struggles of poverty and addiction contrasted by individuals’ hopes found throughout the reservation. This provided important background information which enabled students to build an understanding of what Junior experiences in Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. In the early chapters of the book, students are recording preliminary observations of character development and how various experiences are shaping Junior’s personality. The writing is rich with figurative language. Students are exploring the author’s use of metaphor, including how Junior escapes from the oppressing weight of bullying and poverty through drawing cartoons, which he describes as “tiny lifeboats.”

Science Science

Biology - Ms. Patel

Students in the Biology CP classes are busy exploring the topic of ecology. They identified the various levels of organization and distinguished between abiotic and biotic factors within an environment. Students described the diverse organisms based on their feeding patterns. They also learned about each trophic level within an ecosystem. They applied their learned knowledge to create a food web to demonstrate the feeding relationships and flow of energy from one organism to the next for a given ecosystem. It was a complicated task but with some patience, the students were able to complete their food webs and gain a better understanding of how they work.

Mr. Thomas - PLTW

You’ve probably seen someone in the gym or walking outdoors with tape on their body running in all directions. Maybe they had tape across the shoulder, around the knee cap, or on the back of calves, and you wondered, what is that stuff? Can putting on a piece of tape actually provide performance benefits? Kinesiology tape, or Kinesio tape, is stretchy, movable tape that is used by therapists to change muscle tone, move lymphatic fluids, correct movement patterns, and improve posture. Students practiced using kinesiology tape on the elbow to relieve pain!

Engineering and AP Physics Engineering and AP Physics

Mr. Torres

Engineering Design - Spatial Visualization and 3D Modeling

Students in Engineering Design have transitioned from hand sketching their ideas to creating 3D models. Computer Aided Design is an essential skill in Engineering to develop prototypes. CAD modeling also helps students enhance their spatial visualization skills as they represent and manipulate models. Just like learning a new language, using CAD software takes time to master and is always difficult at the beginning. But HHS students are working hard and completing different CAD modeling challenges in order to be able to eventually build and 3D print their own models.


AP Physics 1 - Work, Energy & Power

Having progressed through the Laws of Newton in Unit 2, AP Physics students are now exploring the concepts of Work, Energy and Power in our next Unit. Potential and Kinetic Energy can be simplified to mean the energy due to an object's position and the energy due to an object's motion. To further their study, students completed an inquiry lab in which they used springs, masses and hooked weights to determine elastic potential energy of a spring. By attaching different masses to a spring and measuring the displacement, students were able to graphically and mathematically represent the Force as well as the Energy stored in a Spring.

Video and Animation Video and Animation

Mr. MacAulay

Animation 1

Period 3 Animation 1 has been spending the first marking period on creating a Comic Strip. Students wrote a paradigm that has a Beginning, Middle and End, and shared with the rest of the class.

Once students decided on the stories they liked, they used Movemagic screenwriter, comic book template, to write a script for their comic strip. Students took their completed 3-5 page comic script and create a pre-visualization of each panel, by using Frameforge 3D studio. They were able to download their pre-viz as a movie and add to Toon Boom, which allows them more control of the image, as they create their comic panels.

Video in the Connected World 1

Students in the Periods 4, 8 & 9 attempted to create pre-production tools for the Speech, Theater Association of New Jersey (STANJ) communication contest. Students created a three to five page screenplay that could not have any dialogue or any written word, including titles in the production.

After completing the screenplay, students added angles/shots of each scene, and then used Frameforge 3D studio to create storyboards to match each angles they wrote in the shooting script.


Video in the Connected World 2

Students in Periods 2 & 7, Video in the Connected World 2, were also working on a contest that was sponsored by the Third Circuit Court, defining the various elements of American Democracy.

Just like all my classes, students created a brief paradigm, submitted it the class, decided on the best stories to work on, team up and write a five to seven page screenplay, convert that to a shooting script and storyboard.

Students had five to seven days to produce the best pre-production package, and shoot every angle that was on the storyboard and shooting script.

Ms. Sivo and Ms. Lisa

This week we worked closely on Jobs and Careers. We spoke about different types and identified the necessary items needed to do the job using miniature manipulatives. As Ms. Sivo worked one-on-one with the students using rotating centers, Ms. Lisa made sure the remainder of the students were working hard and correctly in centers. Centers included fine motor skills while identifying emotions, matching job uniforms to the career, matching shadows to the pictures, using tools, paper clip sorting and creating orders, identifying small-medium-large and identifying name brand labels while shopping.

We also had Yash Patels 18th Birthday Party at Mario's Pizza!

It's been a great week!

History History

AP Psychology - Mr. Munoz

AP African Studies: Abolitionism and the Underground Railroad

Mr. Munoz's AP African Studies class is currently studying Unit 2: Freedom, Enslavement, and Resistance (16th century–1865), with a focus on Topic 2.20: Abolitionism and the Underground Railroad. Students are learning about the Underground Railroad, a covert network that helped enslaved people escape to freedom in the North and Canada, and the courageous individuals who risked their lives to help them.

Central to this topic is Harriet Tubman, who led around 300 enslaved people to freedom and later served as a Union spy and nurse during the Civil War. Students are also studying other key figures like William Still, known as the "Father of the Underground Railroad," and Levi Coffin, who helped operate safe houses. Important locations, including Philadelphia and the border states, are also highlighted.

This week, we were honored to host Superintendent Johnson, Principal Piccapietra, and NJDOE Project Specialist Makenzie Kelly, who visited the class to observe our discussion. Their visit underscores the importance of understanding the historical struggle for freedom and justice.

As students continue to explore these topics, they are gaining valuable insights into the legacy of resistance and the ongoing fight for equality.

AP Psychology - Ms. Loughlin

Students in AP Psychology are leading their learning by teaching lessons on brain structures. Using MRI scans and interactive activities students are learning how injuries, disease and age can affect how each part of the brain functions and interacts.

Math Math

Ms. Tank

This week in Mrs. Tank's AP Calculus class, students learned about Motion Analysis of a function and applied it to word problems related to velocity and acceleration. Students will be taking a test this week on the Related Rates. Students in AP Pre-Calculus class reviewed Trig functions, how to find the trigonometric functions given an angle in any of the four quadrants and apply the trig functions to real life situations. They also found the linear and angular velocity of a windmill in real life problems In Pre-AP Algebra-2,students engaged in factoring polynomials using polynomial identities. Students learned how to expand binomials using Pascal's triangle. Students will be taking a quiz this week on Polynomial function operations and factoring. Students in AP Calculus BC learned Integral test and P-series test to identify the convergence or divergence of a series. They will have a quiz on the tests on Thursday.

World Languages World Languages

Español en Hoboken High School

Our students are advancing in their journey in language acquisition. We have read and listened to many funny, exciting, engaging stories and explored more specific contextualized grammar and vocabulary.


Spanish I

Our students are reviewing and acquiring vocabulary and grammar points related to numbers, Time telling, and the verb to be. They are also working on activities that help them analyze and figure out the correct subject pronouns they would use in formal and informal settings. The students also learned about famous people from Spanish-speaking countries and their professions.


AP Spanish Literature

Students in Ms.Cruz’s AP Spanish Literature class continue to transport themselves to Siglo XVI to compare and contrast the perspective of Hernan Cortes from his "Segunda carta de relación" about his conquest of Mexico to the perspective of the indigenous survivors, by reading "Visión de los vencidos, Presagios de la venida de los españoles." Students are able to analyze both perspectives to then complete the unit's sugerencias y análisis comprehension questions in their textbook Azulejos.


At the end of the lesson, they had the opportunity to participate in an activity in which they came up with questions to interview Hernan Cortes and one of the representatives of Tenochtitlan to understand their perspectives further. The students took turns interviewing each other in Spanish and took their prospective role in the interview very seriously. Some of the questions they came up with were -¿Qué civilización en tu opinión crees que es más avanzada, la civilización de España o los aztecas? ¿Podrías explicarnos los aspectos más impresionantes de la ciudad? ¿Cómo se entrenaban los soldados y cuáles eran sus estrategias de batalla?¿Harías esto otra vez si fuera necesario?
