Superintendent
The 2025-26 school year provides us renewed opportunities to move forward with ambitious goals for academic growth for our students, the staff members who lead them, and the families who provide the critical support to them. As we push one another to strive for greater levels of achievement, we do so with an understanding of the support needed to create the best possible learning environment.
We are also excited for Year 2 of the redesigned schedule at the high school, which includes a later start time, embeds options for students to receive extra help, and provides a rotating drop block that encourages more project-based learning. The middle school schedule is also in its second year with the structured support block at the end of the day and includes an expanding range of electives.
Our support network continues to include the behavior threat assessment teams at each school. Under the direction of our school safety specialist and director of security, these teams allow for coordination and collaboration among our professionals in the mental health support area with teachers, administrators and security personnel in order to proactively address students’ needs.
Our investment in technology remains strong, as we integrate resources that have been part of our instructional design for years with tools we learned to use during the pandemic response as well as emerging technologies such as AI and other classroom tools that provide greater access to meaningful learning experiences.
Ultimately our emphasis on mental health, safety, technology, and student learning needs would not be successful without the support of our Pequannock Township Community. Our close knit community continues to work together to ensure that our students have the best experiences possible, and that our staff members feel valued for their hard work.
We remain Panther strong, and will look to celebrate our tradition while looking to innovate and grow. Let's continue to be great together!
