Bill's Story
Hello, friends. After graduating from OTHS in June 1970, I spent four years at Rutgers College and graduated with my B. A. in history in 1974. I also was certified to teach social studies, and for the next 36.5 years, I worked at Hunterdon Central Regional HS in Flemington NJ, where I taught social studies as well as Spanish language, and then became the supervisor of the social studies department in 1987, retiring from that position in Dec. 2010. Since that time, I've taught part-time at Rider University and currently at Rutgers-New Brunswick in the social studies certification programs for new teachers. I married my college sweetheart, Sheila (Weinstein) Fernekes in August 1976, and we've enjoyed clos...Expand for more
e to 37 years of a loving marriage, with hopefully many more to come. Sheila is a jewelry designer who majored in art at Rutgers, where she was one of the 400+ women who were among the first graduating class of females at Rutgers (1976).
Education has been a great career and I continue to enjoy helping students hone their skills and improve their practice. I never regretted my career choice and as I've told many, many people over the years, I looked forward to each and every day at work (and I continue to do so, albeit on a less hectic schedule...).
I wish all of my classmates and other OTHS grads the very best, and look forward to our class' 50th reunion in 2020.
Best regards,
Bill Fernekes, OTHS 1970
