Dear Falcon Family,
Today, we celebrate an extraordinary achievement... one that will forever be a part of our school’s history!
For the third consecutive year, a teacher from our Falcon Family has been named Passaic County Teacher of the Year! Today, Mr. Gemmerton Reyes joins the ranks of the best teachers in New Jersey! A recognition only 21 teachers can strive to earn each year out of over 100,000 in the State.
🏆 2024–2025 — Ms. Bernadette Orsita
🏆 2025–2026 — Ms. Alyssa Bitar
🏆 2026–2027 — Mr. Gemmerton Reyes
Three outstanding educators. Three consecutive years. One remarkable school community.
This accomplishment is especially meaningful because this marks the first time in Passaic County history that a single school has had a teacher named Passaic County Teacher of the Year for three consecutive years. What an incredible milestone for our school, our educators, and every member of the Falcon Family! These folks represent the best of the best but are part of an incredible team of educators who lift each other up day in and day out while working with the children of our communities.
This recognition is a testament to the dedication, passion, innovation, and commitment to excellence that define our teachers. Bernadette, Alyssa, and Gemmerton represent the very best of who we are, and their accomplishments reflect the incredible work happening throughout our entire school community.
Please join us in congratulating Mr. Gemmerton Reyes on being named the 2026–2027 Passaic County Teacher of the Year, and in celebrating Bernadette Orsita and Alyssa Bitar for their historic recognition in the two preceding years.
We are incredibly proud of our teachers, our school, and this amazing community. Let’s celebrate this moment together!
Congratulations, Falcons! The best is yet to come!
Thank you for your time. Manchester Regional High School District, a great place to work and learn!
