DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL SERVICES - DR. SANDY MERCEDES The Department of Special Services is partnering with Union County Division of Children and Youth Services (DCYS) to facilitate our participation in the Youth Global Day of Service. This national event encourages our students to conduct community service projects and activities that benefit their communities. On April 28th, the office of Special Services, located in room 125 in Hillside High School, served as a donation site for youth to donate shelf-stable snacks that were collected and then distributed to youth who visit Union County Community Drop-In Centers!
