After the resignation of a school district administrator, Northern Burlington County High School teacher and Wilmington University instructor will serve as the Hillsborough Township Public School District’s new World Languages and ESL supervisor.
Members of the Hillsborough Township Board of Education unanimously approved the appointment of Roberto Lujo, Jr. to fill the position left vacant by his predecessor, Enrique Pincay, who resigned earlier this year.
“I am thankful for the opportunity to serve as a district supervisor and look forward to working with the staff, students and community of Hillsborough Township,” Lugo said.
According to officials, Lugo has a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire and a Master of Science in Information Systems Technologies from Wilmington University.
In recent years, Lugo has been working as a Spanish II teacher at Northern Burlington County High School. While there, he wrote and implemented a new curriculum for the high school’s Spanish Culture & Conversation course. He is also an Information Technology Instructor at Wilmington University in New Castle, Delaware. He has previously taught Spanish at Lindenwold Middle School.
During the Aug. 21 school board meeting, Superintendent Dr. Jorden Schiff said he was confident in Lugo’s qualifications and pleased with his appointment.
“The World Languages and ESL department’s dedication to meeting the needs of the diverse population of Hillsborough will provide Roberto with an excellent foundation to grow as an administrator,” he said. “Roberto’s strong background in language acquisition and technology integration in the classroom will be an asset to Hillsborough students and staff members,” Schiff said.
According to officials, Lugo will join the district on or before Nov. 13 from Northern Burlington County Regional School District. His salary will be $90,000 per year, with the this year’s amount being pro rated to when he joins the district.
