As your Superintendent, I look forward with great anticipation to welcoming your children to what I am confident will be an exciting learning experience in the Upper Freehold Regional School District.

I am honored to be the Superintendent of Schools for the Upper Freehold Regional School District, a learning community widely recognized for its commitment to children and the pursuit of academic excellence. The quality of staff, the scope of the educational program, the wide range of services, and the vibrant and dynamic curricula, make our district an ideal place for children to learn, grow and develop into responsible citizens. I will continue to strive to make this fine school district one that is recognized for the value it places upon the development of character and personal and academic competence in all children.

Please know that the Board of Education welcomes your involvement in the education of your children. We recognize that parent involvement is the single greatest factor that directly correlates with student achievement. Our community offers visible proof that a strong bond between the home and school supports students in their pursuit of life-long learning. I am excited about this opportunity to work with you to promote an optimal learning environment for the children of this fine district.

We are confident that our website www.ufrsd.net is a powerful resource for you to gain important information about the exciting things happening in our schools. Feel free to contact me with any compliments, questions, or enhancements you would like to share relative to our school system and any of our communication tools.
