Marlboro High School Teacher Named Outstanding Teacher By Former Student

Marlboro High School math teacher John Nesi was named the 2012 Outstanding Teacher by the Monmouth University-Roberts Charitable Foundation.

Nesi has worked at MHS since 2002, and was previously a teacher at Old Bridge High School and LaSalle Academy in New York City. Former student Cameron Nichols nominated Nesi.

“Mr. Nesi’s enthusiasm starts with a love for math but it goes beyond that and includes a genuine love of teaching and a passion for his students and their learning," Nichols said. "His sense of humor guided me through tough math lessons.  When students feel frustrated or overwhelmed, he goes the extra mile to motivate them with laughter and encouragement.”

The Monmouth University-Roberts Charitable Foundation Award was instituted in 2006 by Life Trustee William Roberts to recognize outstanding secondary school teachers who made an important contribution to the education of current Monmouth University students. Each teacher was nominated by a Monmouth University senior student for their outstanding teaching proficiencies and dedication to education. The selection committee included the Dean of the School of Education Lynn Romeo and Monmouth University professors and students. The teachers received an award of $1,500 and were recognized at Monmouth University’s commencement on May 16, 2012.
