High school teacher will now advance to county competition.
Hillsborough High School teacher Roberta Henry has been named the school district’s Teacher of the Year.
Henry will now be considered, with teachers of the year from other districts, to be Somerset County Teacher of the Year. If she earns the county honor, she will be eligible to be considered as New Jersey Teacher of the Year.

Roberta Henry is a wonderful teacher, my son's favorite thing about senior year was
his preschool class. Roberta pushes the students to do the best they can, and she
cares so much.
