“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”

Welcome to a new school year!  My name is Mr. Gilbert.  I am a native of Long Branch and was formally educated through the Long Branch School District.   Upon graduation from Long Branch High School, I attended Kean University in Union, New Jersey.  There, I received a BA in Liberal Arts.  However, during my third year at Kean, my career interest changed to teaching. After graduating from Kean, I entered Bloomfield College’s Post-Baccalaureate Program and received certification in Elementary Education.  I have taught in several school districts throughout New Jersey over the past 6 years.  I am very excited about returning to Long Branch.  I look forward to working with parents, community members, and most importantly educating the children at Gregory School.
