It is with great pride and gratitude that I continue serving as Assistant Principal of Edgar Middle School. Now in my eighth year with Metuchen Public Schools and my fifth year fully dedicated to Edgar, I am honored to support a school community that lives out its core values of respect, kindness, responsibility, and inclusiveness every day.
Over the past 20+ years in education—and more than a decade in administration—I’ve had the privilege of teaching and leading at nearly every level from first through eighth grade. These experiences have shaped my commitment to academic excellence, whole-child development, and building relationships rooted in trust and mutual respect. As Edgar’s Assistant Principal, I strive to be a servant leader—visible, collaborative, and responsive to the needs of students, staff, and families alike.
My prior role as Supervisor of Mathematics and Instructional Technology in Metuchen helped deepen my appreciation for instructional leadership and teacher development. Today, I remain passionate about fostering a learning environment where students are challenged to think critically, act with integrity, and find their voices as young leaders.
Personally, my husband and I are now cheering on our three children as young adults—one a proud college graduate and two currently in college. Like so many families, we've walked the road of milestones, transitions, and growth. These experiences continue to shape the empathy and understanding I bring to my work with middle schoolers and their families.
This school year, my goals remain clear: to build strong relationships, be a visible and supportive presence, and lead with heart and purpose. I believe deeply that students thrive when they are known, challenged, and cared for, and I’m committed to partnering with each of you to ensure every child at Edgar has that experience.
Please know that my door—and my heart—are always open. I look forward to the year ahead with optimism and excitement as we continue to make Edgar a place where students not only succeed but feel a strong sense of belonging.
Warmly,
Mrs. Neyda Evans, MA Ed.
