Matthew Stanbro Assistant Principal & Curriculum Coordinator
I am excited to join the Clinton Public School community! I have been teaching elementary education at Brayton School in Summit, New Jersey for the past fifteen years. I taught grades 3, 4, and 5 and earned Teacher of the Year recognition in 2020. I have earned my Master of Arts in Education Technology in 2012 and Master of Arts in Educational Leadership in 2017, both from Ramapo College. While at Brayton, I served on several committees, including the school's data committee, math curriculum committee, science curriculum committee, language arts curriculum committee, and I served as Facility Co-Coordinator on Emergency Management & Safety Team. I regularly facilitated staff meetings and provided professional development on utilizing technology in education. In 2022, I also created, implemented, and supervised the 5th-Grade Student Leadership Club.
From 2017-2022, I served as the Coordinator of Summit School's summer enrichment program known as FLASH. FLASH served hundreds of students each summer in grades 1 through 8. I managed and supervised all aspects of the 400-student program which included: hiring teachers and counselors, administering teacher training and completing staff evaluations, managing the operations budget, developing the calendar and schedule, and communicating with the school community. While at Summit, I also served as head coach of the Summit High School girls ice hockey team from 2008-2023 and was twice named Star Ledger Girls Ice Hockey Coach of the Year. I cannot wait to get started at CPS!

Nicole Kish- Special Education Middle School
"Hello! My name is Nicole Kish and I am really excited to be joining Clinton Public School! I graduated from Kean University in 2018 with my Bachelor's Degree in Education (P-12) and English Literature, and certification to teach Special Education. I am also currently in graduate school at Rutgers University working on my Master's to become a Reading Specialist and/or Supervisor. I have been teaching for five years, entering my sixth year this fall! I started off teaching eighth grade, but for the past three years I have been teaching at the high school level (10th-12th grade). I am really excited to be returning to the middle school; it has always been my favorite grade level to teach! Outside of teaching, I love to be outdoors. Anything that gets me out into nature is something I will love! I also enjoy baking, curling up with a great book, and spending time with my sweet pup, Lola! Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me and welcoming me into the Clinton Public community! I am looking forward to the school year ahead!"
