Mrs. Melissa ZuberHi! My name is Melissa Zuber and this is my fifth year at Saint Joseph School. In years passed, I was the fourth grade teacher, but have recently accepted an opportunity I could not pass up in the middle school grades. I am very excited to be teaching 5th-8th grade math and 7th-8th grade science this year.
I received my bachelors degrees in Elementary Education and Psychology from Caldwell University. After teaching for the Archdiocesese of Newark and for the Diocese in Metuchen early in my career, I decided to leave teaching to raise my children and pursue other dreams. After being home for quite a few years and taking other paths for myself and my family at the time, I realized that one can have many dreams, but only have one true calling. I returned to teaching and never looked back.
I am at home in the classroom and I believe my students understand that notion by my fun, yet firm and fair approach to teaching. I look forward to this coming year and hope to inspire students to fulfill their dreams to find their true calling and vocation.
