Warren Superintendent Named Somerset County’s 2023 Superintendent Of The Year

WARREN, NJ — Superintendent of Warren Township Schools, Dr. Matthew Mingle, has been named the 2023 Somerset County New Jersey Superintendent of the Year.

"Dr. Mingle is the consummate professional who genuinely believes in the value of education and he demonstrates a very strong commitment to lifelong learning," according to the Somerset County Association of School Administrators (SCASA), who made the announcement on June 10.

The SCASA went on to note Mingle's commitment to the children, families, and staff of Warren Township Schools.

"Dr. Mingle has consistently worked to make students the top priority. In particular, Dr. Mingle led his school district through the COVID pandemic with creative problem solving. Dr. Mingle restructured his school/classroom arrangements to keep students in-person while many other districts were still doing remote learning. Dr. Mingle also implemented strategies like test-to-stay in order to keep students in school. Dr. Mingle's peers in Somerset County look to his leadership and have all been impressed with his passion for education and the lengths that he will go to in order to make sure his students are receiving that education.”

Mingle was also recognized for his dedication to his profession through his contributions in the
Somerset County Association of School Administrators where he currently serves as an active
member, key contributor, and Treasurer. He is also the incoming president of the Morris-Union
Jointure Commission and Vice President of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum
Development (ASCD) Board of Directors, according to the SCASA.

The Warren Township Board of Education recognized Mingle for the recent honor at its June 20 meeting.

“The Board enthusiastically congratulates Dr. Mingle on this well-deserved award, and thanks
him for his countless hours of leadership and dedication to providing an outstanding education
for the students of Warren. Anyone who has had the opportunity to work with Dr. Mingle has
quickly learned of his seemingly endless capabilities and true passion for education," said Board President David Brezee.

Mingle will now be considered for regional and statewide recognition by the New Jersey Association of School Administrators.
