Seneca High School named its 2019–2020 Teacher of the Year
Seneca High School named Gerry Sherlock the 2019–2020 Teacher of the Year for his dedication as a U.S. History 1, U.S. History 2 and American Government teacher.
Sherlock’s love for history dates back to when he was a child, hearing stories from his grandmother passed down from generations before.
As he grew older, he discovered he performed well in his history classes, and by the time he was a freshman in college, he decided that is what he wanted to pursue as a career.

Board of Education reviewed finances at recent meeting
At this week’s Tabernacle Township Board of Education meeting, the Education Foundation of Tabernacle Township presented a $3,500 grant to Tabernacle Elementary School.
This grant will contribute to the production of the breathe-in, breathe-out room.
Following the grant announcement, Superintendent Glenn Robbins discussed the upcoming state aid reductions.
Robbins said the Tabernacle School District stands to lose a total of $2.5 million in state aid funds in the upcoming years.
Robbins expressed his fear the budget cuts could eventually lead to increased class sizes, reduced support services, increased activity fees, the inability to sustain current technology and the inability to acquire emergency instructional technology.
