She later became a reading specialist at the Academy of Arts at Bella Vista and Sandia Elementary school, and assistant principal at Yucca Middle School. She was also a third-grade teacher at Highland Elementary.

Estock holds a master’s degree in education from Eastern New Mexico University, where she also completed her undergraduate work.

Gillins-Hubbarb was the New Jersey Educator of the Year for 2022-23 and has been an elementary school teacher for nearly a decade, according to the news release.

Gillins-Hubbard holds a master’s degree in educational leadership from The College of New Jersey, and a bachelor of criminal justice degree from Rowan University.

Both women will begin their new roles over the summer in preparation for the school year that begins in August.
