HoLa is annually classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as a top 5% performing school and is designated as a Dual Language Model Program for the state.
The HOLA Middle School is the first in the state to have its curriculum approved for the College Board’s AP exam program, enabling students to take the Spanish AP exam in 8th grade to qualify for college credits.
I had the honor of introducing the idea of HOLA to the Hoboken Board of Education where it was voted down. I then had the honor of serving on HOLA's Board for almost a decade beginning with its initial founding in 2015.
