UCL Community Desk · Union County Life
Berkeley Heights Public Schools announced that Dr. Winston Jackson will continue serving as Interim Assistant Principal at Governor Livingston High School for the 2026-2027 school year. Dr. Jackson joined the district in April 2026 and has earned respect from students, staff, and administrators.
Dr. Jackson is an accomplished educator with more than 35 years of experience in public education. He retired in 2020 after serving as Principal of Chancellor Avenue School in the Irvington Public School District. He decided to return to the profession in an interim role with the goal of serving a suburban school community.
Dr. Jackson holds an Executive Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Seton Hall University, a Master of Public Administration from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and a Bachelor of Science in Management from Seton Hall University.
As Interim Assistant Principal, Dr. Jackson supervises student discipline for grades 9-11 and assists with grade 12 disciplinary matters. He also oversees student attendance and coordinates the implementation of the school's Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS) and Section 504 programs. His goals include helping increase Governor Livingston High School's high student achievement levels and supporting improvements in student-student, student-staff, and parent-staff relationships.
Governor Livingston High School Principal Meg Berry stated, "From his very first week, Dr. Jackson made it a priority to be visible and approachable across our entire building. While his depth of professional experience adds immense value to our leadership team, it's his ability to connect with people that really stands out."
Dr. Jackson said, "I love the students, and I am grateful for the opportunity to begin and complete an entire school year with them in 2026–2027." Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kim Feltre added, "Dr. Jackson's vast experience and dedication to education have been an asset to GLHS."
