Spector as principal of Seneca High School in Tabernacle. Jeff Spector, an assistant principal and athletic director at the school, will replace current principal, John Furgione. According to LRHSD Superintendent Emily Capella, Jeff Spector brings an ideal combination of experience as an educator and demonstrated effective school management skills to the position, which will help ensure that Seneca continues to be a safe and secure learning environment. “Jeff developed a very clear vision of teaching and learning as a teacher and coach,” said Capella. “As his career advanced, and he has assumed more responsibilities as an administrator, Jeff has drawn on his teaching experiences to relate to what is going on in the classroom and with extracurricular activities. Jeff has always been and continues to be an advocate for students and staff, while forging and maintaining open communication with parents and the community.” Jeff Spector, who has been an assistant principal at Seneca High School since its opening in September 2003, credits John Furgione with establishing guiding principles and a solid foundation for the school. “Our staff is committed to building on the momentum of Seneca’s first five years to advance its educational programs even further,” said Spector. “I cannot fully express the excitement of being at the school since the day we opened. I’m thrilled to be Seneca’s principal and serve the Pinelands communities of Shamong, Southampton, Tabernacle and Woodland.” Jeffrey Spector earned a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from Rowan University and a master’s in educational administration from Rutgers University.
