Mark the date and support these talented young artists!

She listens to her students when they need to talk, and she is a trusted adult in their lives. We are so fortunate to have Ms. Greene working with our students." Thank you!

MW Principal Dr. Marc D’Amico and Assistant Principal Steve Sorensen fell victim to an unexpected dessert attack last Thursday when Assistant Principal Dr. Laura Mayer willingly took on the task of throwing a pie in their faces. It was a sweet reward for the seventh graders who donated the most personal care items in a challenge with the eighth graders. Together, the classes donated over 700 items, including 120 bottles of shampoo, to the Hilton-Parma Emergency Food Shelf. In addition to the personal care items, basket raffles among staff raised $450, the 5 Buy Five Charity Art Show raised about $200, and Melos Café raised $150 – all for the Food Shelf. “Our school is happy to be able to help people in our community and to teach our students the importance of taking care of each other,” said D’Amico.
Check out Erin McBride's nomination! "Erin always has a smile and a positive perspective to share. She models welcoming and affirming ideals everyday with her kindergartners where she reminds them that we are all one team where everyone has something valuable to contribute. We are grateful she has joined our learning community!"

Kyle Russell, a 2013 Hilton grad, was featured in the latest issue of NYSUT United Magazine where he writes about why he decided to become a teacher. He credits his Hilton High School science teachers, Jennifer Howell and Maria Vowles, for inspiring and motivating him to enter the field of teaching. Russell is now a middle school science teacher in the Perry Central School District. Before that, he taught in Alaska.
