Dear Parents and Guardians,

With great enthusiasm, I welcome everyone back to school for the 2024-2025 school year! Millburn Middle School has a proud tradition of academic excellence built on solid curricula, exceptional teachers and support staff, and various extracurricular programs that enrich our students' educational experience.

As a graduate of Millburn Township Public Schools, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to this wonderful community and distinguished school district, which laid the foundation for my personal and professional achievements.

This year marks my 30th year in public education. Throughout my career, I have gained experience as a teacher, supervisor, and administrator across all grade levels, from elementary to high school. I look forward to engaging with students, parents, and teachers as we explore ways to build on Millburn Middle School's successes. Our ultimate goal is to provide a top-tier education that prepares our students for future success.

My experiences have instilled in me a passion for helping students reach their full potential academically while also developing strong character and an appreciation for citizenship. I believe in a balanced approach to education, one that nurtures students' academic, social, emotional, and physical growth by providing the right mix of independence, guidance, and support.

I look forward to meeting each of you as we work together to support our students.

Sincerely,

John Connolly
Principal
Millburn Middle School
