Welcome to JHES!

My name is Stacy Cullari, and I am proud to serve as the principal of JHES, a role I have held for the past 12 years. I earned my Doctorate in Organizational Leadership with a specialization in Special Education from Grand Canyon University, a Master’s degree in Administration and Supervision from Georgian Court University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Development from the University of Delaware. Prior to becoming a principal, I taught Kindergarten and Second Grade in both the Keansburg and New Egypt School Districts, and I also served as a Preschool Principal in a private school setting. I began my career in Mansfield as a Curriculum Supervisor before transitioning into my current role.

I am deeply committed to educating the whole child and meeting the individual needs of every student. I believe that strong social-emotional development is essential for academic success, and that young children learn best through hands-on, inquiry-based experiences that allow them to actively engage with their environment. At JHES, we view mistakes as opportunities for growth and encourage all students to take risks in their learning.

I currently reside in Medford, New Jersey with my husband, two children, and our two dogs. In my free time, I enjoy theater, reading, and traveling.
