This year we welcome all of our first year Passaic High School teachers. Our teachers learn something new from us everyday just like we learn from them. You may not recognize all of them now, but they shuffle through our hallways ready to teach and become a part of the PHS team.

One of our new English teachers, Ms. Hasan, finds her PHS experience “comforting.”
Ms. Hasan taught at University High School in Newark before she became a teacher at PHS, and so far, she feels like she’s learning everyday and finding that her esteemed co-workers are great resources.

Our teachers put a little pep in their steps, getting through any obstacle that’s thrown at them, we are definitely lucky students to have teachers like Ms. Hasan who make our school a better place.

But wait! Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the rest of you. Welcome to all of our new PHS teachers: Mr. Brubaker, Ms. Choe, Ms. Campagna, Mr. Boxer, Ms. Ayala, Mr. Jimenez-Sturla, Ms. Houser, Mr. Mathews, Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Wellington, Ms. Popowich, Mr. Robinson, Ms. Lugo Vicioso, Mr. Angulo, Ms. Reber, Ms. Kiger-Williams, Ms. Abreu, Ms. Hasan, and Ms. Sciametta.
