Superintendent’s Message

 As Superintendent, I bring over 29 years of experience managing complex systems, leading large teams, and executing high-impact strategic initiatives.  In my role as Superintendent of Schools, I’ve overseen multi-million-dollar budgets, implemented digital infrastructure, and guided the organization through crises, including cybersecurity threats and emergency relocations.

Dear Students, Parents, Staff, and Community Members,

Welcome to the Township of Union Public Schools (TUPS)

It’s an honor to serve a community dedicated to academic excellence, innovation, and student well-being.

At TUPS, our mission is to empower and inspire every student, every day. With accessible, personalized learning and strong support systems, we are committed to helping all students reach their full potential because that is our vision, and it drives all that we do.

You’ll often hear us say, “It’s All About U!” and we mean it. The “U” represents our Union community and each unique student, educator, and family who contributes to our success. Your voices, needs, and growth are at the heart of every decision we make.

As we begin another school year, we’re excited to expand opportunities, support wellness, and strengthen our partnerships with you.

Thank you for your continued support. Stay connected through our website and social media and remember, “It’s All About U” isn’t just a motto, it’s our commitment.

Warm regards,
Dr. Gerry Benaquista
Superintendent of Schools
