Director of Curriculum
DISTRICT BIDS FAREWELL TO DR. CAROLYN
ROSENBERG AND MR. TIMOTHY O’HALLORAN
Dr. Carolyn Rosenberg, who joined the Somerville
M r. Timothy O’Halloran began his career as the
Public School district in 1992 as a supervisor and was
appointed director of curriculum, instruction, and technology in 1996, retired after 19 years of service on June
30, 2011.
Dr. Rosenberg became Somerville's director of curriculum, instruction, and technology because she admired its
community of closely-knit students, staff, parents, and
administrators. She felt that the town had a common purpose: to provide the best education for its students. Her
stated philosophy reflects her belief that a collective
effort is crucial in improving education.
Dr. Rosenberg plans to continue her lifelong commitment to developing the next generation of teachers and
school leaders. She is a consultant for the Educational
Testing Service and the New Jersey Department of
Education, Division of Standards and Assessment. In the
fall, Dr. Rosenberg is joining the Rider University faculty.
assistant principal of SMS in 1991. Ater one year, Mr.
O’Halloran was appointed principal of Somerville High
School. Over the years, he has seen numerous improvements in the quality of education at SHS.
Mr. O’Halloran stated that he is looking forward to
some aspects of retirement; he is eager to have more free
time and less paperwork. He will miss the daily interactions with students who he believes are full of enthusiam
and fresh ideas. He reminds students that education is a
lifelong pursuit in which hard work leads to success.
Mr. O’Halloran plans to work as an educational consultant, advising acting school administrators and working
with many different schools. Mr. O’Halloran hopes he
will be able to share his experiences at SHS to aid other
schools.
Congratulations and best wishes to both Dr. Rosenberg
and Mr. O’Halloran on their retirements!■

OF THE YEAR

Derveer Elementary School, has been teaching for
nine years in the Somerville Public School district.
As a committed and dedicated teacher, Mrs.

Mrs. Osborn states, “I love my job and I take it very seriously! As John F. Kennedy once said,
‘Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.’ As a result, I
strive to provide my students with the necessary skills, guidance, and support to enable them to
reach their full potential not only in the classroom, but in the real world as well. I take pride in
creating a warm, safe, and student-centered learning environment where students feel a sense of
belonging, where mistakes are used as learning opportunities and where students’ opinions are
valued. My goal is to instill confidence, good work habits, and critical thinking skills so that one
day my students become strong, respectful, intelligent, and healthy citizens. Learning is a lifelong
process. There is not one day that goes by that I don’t learn something from my students. I am so
grateful to be doing what I love everyday and to be surrounded by so many inspiring teachers
and students. I am truly honored to be nominated as Van Derveer’s teacher of the year.” ■
