The Freehold Township Board of Education held its annual staff recognition meeting on June 3, 2025, celebrating the dedication and service of its educators and staff. This event, which acknowledges both long-serving employees and retirees, highlighted the commitment of the district to its community and the importance of recognizing those who shape the lives of students.

During the meeting, the board honored staff members who have reached the milestone of 25 years of service.

The ceremony included heartfelt acknowledgments of the contributions made by these long-serving educators, with applause resonating throughout the room as names were called. Notable recipients included Janet Giglio and Katie Kovaleski from Applegate School, Sue Flickinger, Kathy Reid, and Carrie Weber from Eisenhower Middle School, and several others from various schools within the district.

In addition to recognizing long-term service, the meeting also paid tribute to retirees, with resolutions read aloud to honor their years of dedication. Each retiree was celebrated for their unique contributions to the district, emphasizing the impact they had on students and the community. The event was attended by fellow educators, administrators, and representatives from the Freehold Township Association, all coming together to express gratitude for the hard work and commitment of their colleagues.

The evening served not only as a celebration of individual achievements but also as a reminder of the collective effort that goes into educating the children of Freehold Township. The board's commitment to recognizing its staff underscores the value placed on education and the community's support for its schools. As the district looks to the future, these celebrations foster a sense of unity and appreciation among educators, reinforcing the importance of their roles in shaping young minds.
