Ojetta C. Townes, Manager of Human Resources
Welcome to the Human Resources page of the Ridgewood Public Schools website! Ridgewood is one of the finest school districts in New Jersey and the nation. We have a long history of excellence that sets our district apart from most others, and we work hard every day to maintain that tradition.
Ridgewood’s rigorous recruitment process, coupled with our strong support for professional growth, allows us to attract and develop an exceptional staff of teachers, specialists, and administrators. Our employees receive compensation packages that are among the most generous in the state; and we work in a community that is deeply committed to our goal of preparing intelligent, well-rounded young adults for fulfilling successful lives.
If your passion is to help children learn how to pursue their dreams, and you understand that our complex society demands excellence, then we invite you to bring your talents to Ridgewood!
