The Governor’s Educator of the Year Program was developed by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) to recognize educators and encourage them to become champions for education and advocates for students and teachers at the county, state and national levels.
Through this program, the district honors its exemplary teachers and educational-services professionals to promote a culture that recognizes excellence, creates a sense of pride, and brings public attention to the work of outstanding educators.
Please join us in congratulating our educational award winners for school year 2019-2020!
